What You Want To Know To Start 2021

If you have a Christmas tree and are looking for a free way to give it a new life, the City of Boston is offering free pickup on the first recycling day of this week and next week. The first recycling day of the week in Fort Point and Seaport appears to be Thursday. To be sure, check your recycling trash day. The tree must be ready by 6am and clear of ornaments, lights and tinsel in preparation for compost shredding. The compost will then be distributed to Boston Parks to help new plants grow.

There is a new electricity supplier in town through the City of Boston Community Choice Electricity Program. If you are an Eversource basic customer and do not opt out by Jan. 11, you will be automatically enrolled in the City program. Eversource will continue to bill you and deliver your electricity. You will see the supplier listed as Constellation NewEnergy, Inc.   If you already have an alternative electricity supplier, you will not be impacted; however, you may sign up for the City program if you wish. The City program does not guarantee a lower rate than Eversource. It does offer more renewable energy. If you have questions not answered on the Community Choice Electricity Program website, there are virtual office hours  on Tuesdays and Thursday 12pm - 1pm. through February 2, 2021.

Boston Wharf Co Sign Shines Again

The beloved and iconic Boston Wharf Co. Industrial Real Estate sign is back. The sign, one of Boston's most visible icons and a defining feature of our Fort Point Channel Landmark District, had not brightened the skyline from atop 263 Summer Street for the last couple of weeks.

The Fort Point Neighborhood Association with support from the Fort Point Channel Landmarks District Commission and the Boston Preservation Alliance learned that a timing device failure caused the sign to go under repair. Earlier this week, it switched on with a few letters out. The sign should be completely repaired next week thanks to the maintenance and care provided by the property owner and property management company. 

The Boston Wharf Co. sign provides an illuminated visual gateway into our neighborhood and is a symbol of our industrial past.
