Dedication
January 13, 2007
Habitat for Humanity Great Boston welcomed two more families into
the 22-unit Blue Hill Place complex on Blue Hill Ave, marking
2007’s first home dedication ceremony. The completion of
these two units, which are located on Intervale Street, means
that the entire Blue Hill Place project is almost half-way done.
This was the first housing dedication for both Habitat Executive
Director Lark Palermo and Habitat Board of Directors President
Michael Liu. Boston City Councilman Charles Yancey contributed
community remarks. He stressed the importance of what Habitat
Greater Boston does for each family it serves, as well as the
positive impact the Blue Hill Place project has on the surrounding
community. Other dignitaries in attendance included the Reverend
Carolyn Edge of Carter Memorial United Methodist Church and Father
Walter Waldron of St. Patrick’s Church.
