When large-scale redevelopment plans come to a neighborhood near you, so too come the big promises, the grand compromises, the steady stream of contributions to worthy neighborhood causes. Sometimes, though, the project itself is the worthy cause, and it takes a true public-private partnership based in trust and conviction to navigate the delicate balance between stakeholder demands and project viability.  For the Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment project, building trust and leading with conviction meant investing countless hours in doing our homework – and our groundwork.  We set out to craft a plan that could meet or exceed the goals of stakeholders but would remain in the realm of the possible, given the realities of constructability, financial viability, and political feasibility.  Through intensive, extensive homework and groundwork, we emerged from the Article 80 and MEPA processes with a plan that aims high while remaining eminently possible.
