A 16-acre property once home to the long-shuttered Foxborough State
Hospital will soon provide housing for 141 low-income senior households.
Walnut Street, an affordable housing project being developed by the
Affordable Housing Services Collaborative and Onyx, will turn land that
has been vacant for decades into much-needed affordable housing.
“Housing is empowering. No matter our age, it is a comfort not to worry
about whether we can afford a place,” Onyx CEO Chanda Smart said at a
press conference Thursday. “Senior housing for the town of Foxborough
means that seniors who worked and raised their families here in Foxborough
still have the opportunity to remain here.”
Foxborough State Hospital opened in 1889 as the Massachusetts Hospital for
Dipsomaniacs and Inebriates for treatment of alcoholism, according to the
National Park Service, and was later converted to a standard psychiatric
hospital. It closed in 1975, and parts of the property have already been
redeveloped over the years.
The Foxborough Housing Authority first began working on the project back
in 2011. The land was transferred to the agency from the state in 2017 to
be used for affordable housing.
Acting Town Manager Paige Duncan told MassLive that the town held a number
of community meetings to decide what to build on the property.
“It was controversial, but what came out was a clear support for senior
housing,” she said. “We really tried to address the needs of the community
and we came up with a project that was sensitive to the area. We didn’t
want a big block of buildings that towered over the neighborhood.”
After that, she said, there was overwhelming support for the project. The
permits were filed in February and approved by April, an almost unheard-of
timeline.
The finished project will provide 141 new apartments for residents age 55
and over. Of those, 35 will be reserved for people making 30% or less of
the area median income, and 85 will be for those making 60% AMI.
Foxborough residents will be given preference for 70% of the units.
A second phase of the project once this one is complete will add
approximately 60 more units.
Greg Spiers, chairman of the Housing Authority, said the new senior
housing was badly needed, noting there are about 5,500 elderly and
disabled people on public housing waiting lists in Massachusetts.
“With 195 of those on that list Foxborough residents, that 70% local
preference for first-time rentals is one of our goals,” he said. “The need
is so great for affordable housing in our area and the entire state.”
Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus praised the town for
its dedication to creating more affordable housing, even though more than
10% of its total housing units qualify as affordable. The 10% threshold is
the state requirement to stop projects being filed under Chapter 40B, a
law which allows affordable housing developments to bypass certain local
permitting requirements.
“You know that that is just an arbitrary number, but the real needs are
significantly more than that,” Augustus said. “We need more communities to
take note of what Foxborough is doing.”
Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said the project is a good example of the use of
surplus state land for housing. Gov. Maura Healey’s housing bond bill
filed in October included a proposed $30 million that would support
similar projects to use underutilized state property for housing. Healey
also issued an executive order requesting state agencies to conduct an
audit of their property to find land any surplus land suitable for this
purpose.
“Converting state-owned land to another entity can be a little bit of a
torturous pathway. We know that building all the resources you need takes
time,” Driscoll said Thursday. “How do we leverage the cost of land, which
is one of the reasons housing is so expensive, to build the type of
housing we need, but do it in a shorter timetable? That’s what this
(project) is all about.”
The project has received more than $25 million in state and federal
funding, including through American Rescue Plan Act rental funds and state
and federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Work on the site has not yet
started.

says Share Copy Link Copy
Another man is dead in connection with a shooting that happened early
Saturday morning in Lynn, Massachusetts.Authorities announced Sunday that
21-year-old Jandriel Heredia, of Revere, died of the injuries he suffered
in the Essex Street shooting that had already claimed the life of
25-year-old Abraham Diaz.The shooting, which injured a total of seven
people, was first reported to Lynn police at about 2:20 a.m. Saturday.The
Essex County District Attorney's Office said that as of Sunday night,
there is no new information as to the condition of the five other shooting
victims. "This is a terrible act of violence," Essex County District
Attorney Paul Tucker said. "We do not believe this was a random act of
violence."Tucker said shots were fired from a vehicle."They were having
some type of a social gathering," the district attorney said. "This
violence was put upon them in a terrible way.""The people who did this are
not in custody, and we want to make sure we do get them into custody,"
Tucker added. "I just can't believe it happened," said Brian Diaz, brother
of Abraham Diaz. "I'm still trying to process it.""My brother was a good
kid," Brian Diaz added. "He was just like me, giving back to kids, looking
out for kids, and ... just wanted to make sure everyone was all
right."Brian said Abraham was from Lynn. He said his brother was with a
group celebrating a friend who was heading off to college. "This is
absolutely outrageous to have this level of violence happen on our streets
and in our neighborhood," Lynn Mayor Jared Nicholson said at a news
conference on Saturday morning. "It's horrifying.""What everyone
experienced in this street and neighborhood, shouldn't happen," Nicholson
said.Several multi-unit residential homes were located in the area of the
shooting. "We believe this incident was a targeted attack," Lynn police
Chief Christopher Reddy said. "We are committed to holding those
accountable responsible for this senseless act of violence."On Sunday,
Tucker and Reddy said that a man was fatally shot on Lincoln Street
shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday. Authorities said that based on their
initial investigation, the shooting is not believed to be a random act of
violence.Anyone with any information about the shootings is asked to
contact Lynn police at 781-595-2000 or by texting a tip to 847411
(TIP411).The shootings were being investigated by the Essex County
District Attorney’s Office State Police Detective Unit and detectives from
the Lynn Police Department. Previous coverage:

Winter solstice greetings! The shortest day and longest night of year
celebrates the return of the light. Unfortunately, winter viruses are
rampant during this month of many celebrations. As predicted, COVID-19
cases are increasing along with influenza, RSV, strep and many other
respiratory illnesses.
The newest coronavirus subvariant, JN.1, is rapidly spreading and becoming
the most dominant variant. The World Health Organization has classified it
as a “variant of interest.” To be a variant of interest it must have
genetic changes that impact its characteristics and growing in a way that
makes it a risk to global public health.
To date there is no evidence of it causing more serious illness. The
updated vaccine appears to be active against JN.1. Symptoms are similar to
previous strains. Worse symptoms and outcomes are more dependent on a
person’s immunity and overall health. The CDC reports emergency room
visits, hospitalizations and death rates for COVID-19 cases are elevated
nationally. In the Midwest emergency visits are increasing to last year’s
surge numbers.

In a culture with an unquenchable urge to trend-hunt and categorize, the
calendar might be the most arbitrary measure of all. So, I ’ m taking a
pass on writing a year-end best-of list. Instead, let’s call it things
that stick. What follows are five experiences still smouldering away in
the back of my mind — good, best, neither — months after I first saw them.
LESSONS OF THE HOUR, Wadsworth Atheneum
The great American abolitionist Frederick Douglass was the most
photographed person of his era, and not by coincidence. Douglass, a
proto-scholar of image theory, knew that the rapid rise of photography in
postbellum America could be a powerful tool to contend with American
racism, and that if white Americans were to be moved to hold their Black
counterparts as equal, they would first need to see them as such. “Lessons
of the Hour” began that story by dramatic and affecting means: Isaac
Julien’s stirring “Lessons of the Hour,” 2019, a lush, five-channel video
portrayed the intensity and drama of Douglass’s oratory gifts, and his
hunger for equality. Then, it moved from tell to show, with scores of
19th-century photo portraits of Black Americans, decked out in their best
finery, who had taken Douglass’s exhortations to heart. In the constant
deluge of imagery, both moving and still, that we live in today, Douglass
appears eerily prescient. He urged Black Americans to take active
authorship of how they were perceived — an agency that’s now a
second-to-second strategy of a large chunk of the planet (under 40, at
least) through the frame of social media, a self-curation machine he could
never have conceived. The strategy he imagined in the service of high
virtue — what else to call the quest for equality? — has been coopted by
every manner of vice. There’s a metaphor here I don’t care to explore more
deeply; it’s Wednesday night, I just watched 5 minutes of the Republican
debate, and that’s as depressed as I want to get. More than anything, I
wish Douglass were here — not to see how badly we’ve gone wrong, but to
help us find a way out.

Fine Arts Boston

David Drake, or Dave the Potter, has become a posthumous art star in
recent years for the masterful works he made — outsize ceramic food
storage jars that none could match — and the story they embody. Born into
enslavement, Drake worked at one of the ceramic factories in antebellum
Old Edgefield, South Carolina, where jars were mass-produced and exported
all over the South for household use. Drake, who could read and write
despite its prohibition among enslaved people, emblazoned his works with
aphoristic verse – unique transmissions of the enslaved experience that
traveled along with the workaday objects he inscribed. As documents, the
jars are remarkable primary-source accounts of a life lived in bondage; as
art, they embody the spirit and soul of a man whose cruel circumstances
couldn’t snuff his creativity and longing for human connection. “Hear Me
Now” stays with me in its clear-eyed intent to craft lineage across
generations broken by bondage, and to make that shattered story whole.
Alongside Drake, and the countless anonymous makers in the exhibition,
were renowned contemporary artists Simone Leigh and Theaster Gates, for
whom ceramics, a medium forced on generations of Black makers for profit
they would never share, is their chosen medium — one with the imprint of
Black American cultural DNA. In many ways, their work is an extension of
Drake’s — reclaiming a material and process from the depravity of
enslavement, and wholly owning it for themselves.

AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES, Portland Museum of Art

This show bothered me, but in the best way. Folk art, a catch-all of
misfit otherness — things that make art museums uncomfortable — has been
the subject of much reconsideration in recent years, making any show that
dares to use the term as fascinating as it is haphazard. “American
Perspectives” put those dynamics in high relief, a key art world debate
unfolding in real time. It lumped artists like Henry Darger, the Chicago
hospital custodian who crafted his epic pictorial saga of the Vivian
Girls, heroes of an imagined child slave rebellion, alongside 19th-century
handpainted pharmacy signs and carousel horses. Let’s be clear: The
product of a deeply examined inner life is not equivalent to workaday
craft, however masterful the latter. Herein lies the evolving debate:
Darger, who died in 1973, is now collected by the Museum of Modern Art,
among other tier-one institutions. So what was he — and others like him —
doing in this show? “American Perspectives” put folk art’s
work-in-progress definition right in front of our eyes.

PAINTED: OUR BODIES, HEARTS, AND VILLAGE, Colby College Museum of Art
I remain awestruck by this exhibition, not only for the specific
conversations it provokes, but for the museum’s willingness to interrogate
itself, and to find its own answers lacking. In a field where “landmark”
gets tossed around too easily, this is the real deal. Colby had for years
in its vaults a collection of paintings by Taos Society of Artists, a
group of white painters from the urban east who, in the early part of the
20th century, relocated to New Mexico to cash in on the growing fad for
western Native American images. Their pictures were accomplished, but tilt
towards uncomfortable clichés of Indigenous people as a primitive, dying
race. The past century has affirmed the opposite: Pueblo and Diné
communities in the region have both preserved their artistic traditions
and produced increasingly vital contemporary art. Artists like Virgil
Ortiz and Michael Namingha are among many here to confront the mythmaking
of white artists, a century ago, and speak for themselves. Colby could
have left the TSA paintings gathering dust in storage. It did the
opposite, and invited Indigenous curators to help it reconfigure a
clear-eyed re-telling of its own history in the context of the future the
museum intends to build. Note: The show continues until July 28.
THE EMBRACE, Hank Willis Thomas

I walked alongside “The Embrace,” by now the city’s most prominent public
work of art, from its beginnings; the day it was chosen from a field of
five to memorialize Coretta Scott King and Martin Luther King Jr. in 2019,
I wrote that it was jarring, in the best possible way. We’re used to
memorials that ache with overwrought sincerity — figures with hands to
hearts, stoic gazes fixed on a faraway horizon. The Embrace’s confounding
tangle of arms and hands – an extraction of a moment between the couple
when Martin was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964— rejects all
convention. Instead, it emanates the complexity of mystery and, yes,
confrontation. It invites viewers into their own contemplation, rather
than spoon-feeding them what to think and feel. Looking back to when it
arrived on Boston Common in January, you could have guessed some reactions
would shade towards ridicule (a bit by Leslie Jones on The Daily Show,
suggesting an intimate act, might have been the apex). And social media,
which by its nature divorces an object from its scale, material, and
context, reduces real experience to a snippet-sized meme. But for those of
us who have been there – who have walked into those arms, who have
navigated that knot of emotion, a relic of a tragic, complex time – know
the experience itself is irreducible. Being with it, literally, is the
only way to understand it, which to me makes all the sense in the world.
“The Embrace,” in all its glory, is only and forever for Boston, as it
should be.
