CHA Makes Deal with the City of Cambridge, Securing City Funding for Mills River Redevelopment Project

The Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) made a mutually beneficial deal with the City of Cambridge that secures city funding for CHA’s Mills River Redevelopment Project, which involves the demolition and reconstruction of a community center as well as the renovation and creation of permanent affordability restrictions for 15 housing units. In exchange, CHA will allow the city to obtain some of its land via eminent domain for the extension of a public, multi-use path along Cambridge’s Grand Junction Greenway.
