Massachusetts-Boston is redesigning its City Hall Plaza as part of Mayor Thomas M. Menino's Green Grow District. Boston is one of the first five recipients of EPA's new Greening America's Capitals technical assistance under a joint EPA-HUD-DOT Partnership for Sustainable Communities project. Constructed along with City Hall in 1963-68, the barren, nine-acre red brick plaza lost its attraction as a public open space over the last few decades. Within the next 10 years, the plaza will be replaced with trees, a redesigned subway station, and an amphitheater for concerts, theater performances and special events.
