Cambridge Redevelopment Authority Awards Grant for Canoe/Kayak Launch

Today, the CRA announced that the Cambridgeport Neighborhood Assn. is the recipient of a $10,000 capital grant to help fund an ADA-accessible public canoe/kayak launch at the end of the Cottage Farm Facility at Magazine Beach.

According to the terms of the Forward Fund Grant, this aspect of the Phase II design will be implemented in 2016. Thank you, CRA!
