Community Development Block Grant Funds at Work
Tasty Burger is a welcomed addition to the Fenway neighborhood having replaced a former gas station that sat vacant for years on a major boulevard. The owners had a gap in funding and the City was able to assist thanks to a $100,000 ARRA loan that leveraged their $450,000 additional investment. The project created 22 jobs and the neighborhood received a new dining destination.
