    After sharing the initial findings from the community engagement phase back in November, the Boston Creates team has been hard at work analyzing the data and refining the goals and strategies for the cultural plan.

    On March 28, 2016 at Bunker Hill Community College from 6pm to 8pm, the cultural planning team will share the goals and strategies of the cultural plan with the community.  Ultimately, these goals and strategies will form the overall framework for the cultural plan that will be complete in June 2016.  It is important that Boston's residents, communities, and organizations see themselves within the plan.

    Bunker Hill Community College is accessible by the MBTA Community College Station on the Orange Line.  There is parking available on site as well.
