On Saturday, December 14, JP Centre/South Main Streets hosted a visit from Natalia Urturbey – Director of Small Business Development, Chris Osgood – Chief of the Streets, Transportation & Sanitation, and Sebastian Zapata – Deputy Director of State Relations (and leading work for the 2020 Census in Boston). This visit was part of their 20 Districts in 20 Days campaign.
A dedicated group of JP residents achieved a major victory for the integrity of our historic buildings! They rallied the community in an effort to preserve the storefront and appearance of the space at 701 Centre Street, the soon-to-be Chase Bank location in Jamaica Plain.
So exciting to see our local gem, George’s Shoes, featured on WCVB’s Chronicle. Stop by for great shopping, great deals, and great customer service from Leslie!
JP Centre/South Main Streets has kicked off a new project team to help businesses in the district become age-friendly, dementia-friendly, and accessible for people with disabilities.
Our Economic Vitality Committee invited the leadership team from the new Chase Bank opening on Centre St to our meeting last night…and they showed up!!
Thank you to all who completed the customer survey at our area businesses. We have the results compiled and posted here.
