Grow Our Neighborhoods, Not P&G Profits
Neighbors in Fort Point  - 

🚨 P&G is trying to reshape our neighborhoods and not in a good way. 

Their current proposal for rezoning the P&G Gillette site prioritizes oversized towers and dense commercial spaces, with little regard for the people who actually live in South Boston. 

This isn’t planning. 

We have just days to demand a balanced Master Plan - one that puts our neighborhood's needs before the agenda of a single powerful corporation.

Here’s what we’re fighting for: 

✅ Height limits that respect the existing conditions of the adjacent neighborhoods. 

✅ A real mix of uses with 40% housing-including onsite affordable housing, neighborhood-serving retail spaces, City-managed civic spaces like a library or community center, and a destination cultural facility. 

 ✅ A pedestrian-first street design that includes safe access to Broadway Station, surrounding transit, and a real solution for access to I-90 and I-93. 

✅ Flood protection and resiliency infrastructure that safeguards our homes from sea level rise and heavy rain events. 

✅ A meaningful 6+ acre City-owned public waterfront park, Harborwalk, and South Bay Harbor trail - all fully protected from sea level rise. 

This Gillette site could help complete the buildout of Fort Point and the Lower End but only if we act now to demand a plan that reflects our vision - not just P&G’s.
