The Beautification & Public Spaces works to foster a clean, vibrant, inviting business district by implementing clean streets initiatives, improving and ensuring maintenance of open/green space, increasing and promoting public art, and partnering with business owners to create welcoming storefronts.

We are seeking landscape designers, artists, gardeners, and sustainability advocates to:

Develop public art and streetscape projects throughout the district
Organize Greater Ashmont MS cleanups, coordinate participation in planting efforts and Boston Shines
Work with the City of Boston and the MBTA to maintain the public spaces in Peabody Square
Enhance sustainability efforts (recycling, green infrastructure, etc.) ... See more
