$63 Million Push to Help With Public Housing

This lump sum of $63 million, the largest amount to be exact, will be used for public housing in Massachusetts. It will go towards the renovation and restoration of buildings, along with the appliances inside them such as new toilets and LED lights. This will help make the buildings not only safer, but much more energy efficient. "It is the nations' largest public housing energy performance contract, right here in Boston" says Mayor Menino.

I think this is such a great opportunity for those who live in public housing. They will recieve much more adequate living conditions, and I feel this is a fair way to allow those a safe and clean place to live. The only problem that I feel comes from this is the massive amount of tax dollars we may need to pay for this, and the city of Boston will be repaying this debt for 20 years.
