Established in 2022, our mission at the Office of Historic Preservation is to safeguard Boston's rich cultural heritage while amplifying the voices of underrepresented Bostonians. Housed within the Environment, Energy, and Open Space Cabinet, our department includes the Boston Landmarks Commission, the City Archaeology Program, and the Commemoration Commission.

Over the next several months the Office of Historic Preservation will continue it's outreach efforts to various neighborhood groups. The presentations aim is to advocate for a new framework showcasing how historic preservation can address some of Boston's pressing challenges in environmental sustainability, social equity, and affordable housing.

In this virtual public meeting, the Boston Streets Cabinet will share information about the reconstruction of Cummins Highway.  Beginning in Spring 2024, we will rebuild Cummins Highway for future generations, from upgrading the sidewalks, modernizing the traffic signals, repaving the street, to redesigning a street that will be safer for everyone.  This will be the first major investment in the street since 1955.
