ANSWERS opment programs, including those targeting low-income communities, and improves gas pipeline safety. The legislation includes, among other items, the following provisions. • Sets a statewide net-zero limit on greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and mandates emissions limits every five years, as well as limits for specifi c sectors of the economy, including transportation and buildings • Codifi es EJ provisions into Massachusetts law, defining EJ populations and providing new tools and protections for aff ected neighborhoods • Requires an additional 2,400 megawatts of off shore wind, building on previous legislation action, and increases the total authorization to 5,600 megawatts in the Commonwealth • Directs the Department of Public Utilities (DPU), regulator of the state's electric and natuPLAN | FROM Page 1 said the plan will help spruce up what is a major gateway into Revere from the North Shore and beyond. “This document is really a blueprint and a fi rst step in the process of revitalizing and reimagining this whole area,” said David Bois of architectural consultant Arrowstreet. “It’s a living document that sets up the groundwork so the changes we are talking about can happen.” Some of the highlights of the plan include upgrades to sports and passive recreation amenities at Gibson Park, a community rowing center at the former boatyard and redevelopment of the existing pier. In addition, developer Redgate is looking toward a mixed-use development at the G&J towing site. Damian Szary of Redgate said that redevelopment will incorporate aspects of the master plan, including community and public space on the ground fl oor of the development. Bois said the plan seeks to connect the parcel to the waterfront for Revere residents and ral gas utilities, to balance priorities going forward: system safety and security, reliability, aff ordability, equity and, signifi cantly, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions • Sets appliance energy effi - ciency standards for a variety of common appliances, including plumbing, faucets, computers and commercial appliances • Adopts several measures aimed at improving gas pipeline safety, including increased fi nes for safety violations and regulations related to training and certifying utility contractors • Increases the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) by 3 percent each year from 2025– 2029, resulting in 40 percent renewable energy by 2030 • Establishes an opt-in municipal net-zero energy stretch code, including a defi nition of “net-zero building” • Prioritizes equitable access to the state’s solar programs by low-income communities • Establishes $12 million in annual funding for the Massavisitors through walkways and other natural elements. “It’s the idea of reclaiming the water’s edge both in the public areas … all the way through the private development, which at the moment is not accessible,” said Bois. Bois said the entire development of the area won’t take place at once, but will happen in phases as funding sources are identifi ed and become available. He said the plan is adaptable to take into account other development within the city. “For instance, if the new high school building has new tennis courts and we don’t need the tennis courts [at Gibson Park], we can fl ip that to another use,” said Bois. Other planned upgrades for the park include a full-size basketball court, a multiuse fi eld in addition to the baseball diamond, a pickleball court and a dog park. Accessibility to the area also takes into account the planned General Edwards Bridge rebuilding project. One aspect of the plan Bois said he is particularly excited about is the community boatchusetts Clean Energy Center in order to create a pathway to the clean energy industry for EJ populations and minority- and women-owned businesses • Provides solar incentives for businesses by exempting them from the net metering cap to allow them to install solar systems on their premises to help off set their electricity use and save money • Requires utilities to include an explicit value for greenhouse gas reductions when they calculate the cost-eff ectiveness of an off ering of Mass Save • Creates a fi rst-time greenhouse gas emissions standard for municipal lighting plants that requires them to purchase 50 percent non-emitting electricity by 2030 and “net-zero” by 2050 • Sets benchmarks for the adoption of clean energy technologies, including electric vehicles, charging stations, solar technology, energy storage, heat pumps and anaerobic digestors. ing and rowing aspect at the boatyard. The plan also includes fl ooding mitigation for both storm and coastal fl ooding, including a 500,000 gallon retention facility underneath the fi eld at Gibson Park. “All the components in this program really take into consideration the environmental concerns of the neighborhood and of the site as a whole, and not just building them as infrastructure pieces, but building them into the public realm and making them the kinds of places people can use,” said consulting engineer John McAllister. “We know the big issues are the fl ooding; it’s the climate change we’re going to be facing, with a sea level rise of one to four feet over the next 30 to 70 years. The problem is there. It’s not going away and we’re not going to stop it.” But McAllister said the planning has to do as much as it can to mitigate the issues without pushing the problems farther down the coast. “The big thing is helping the people of the Riverside neighborhood get water away,” he said. 1.
