Connolly Brothers breaks ground on New England Academy South Shore

Marshfield, MA Connolly Brothers, Inc. has broken ground on a new South Shore location for New England Academy (NEA), a private, special education school devoted to providing students in grades 6 through 12 with the academic challenge and clinical support they need to succeed in school.

The new 28,055 s/f campus building will be located at 51 Commerce Way. Using its design-build model, Connolly Brothers previously delivered to New England Academy its current, 40,000 s/f campus building at 96 Cherry Hill Dr. in Beverly, Mass.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Connolly Brothers on the development of our South Shore campus,” said Dr. Ryan Plosker, executive director and founder of New England Academy. “Connolly Brothers has been a great partner in helping New England Academy achieve its campus dreams and providing a space where our students can flourish.”

The new South Shore site will feature classrooms, a gymnasium, and an athletic field. Connolly responded to NEA’s programmatic needs with preliminary services including site selection and feasibility studies, estimating, permitting, design, and budgeting. Again leveraging its design-build approach, Connolly Brothers is currently providing construction management services to build the South Shore campus from the ground up. The additional campus will enable NEA to reach more students with social and emotional needs, delivering a challenging academic program within a therapeutic setting.

“After helping New England Academy establish its initial campus, we are honored to have been asked to return back for this expansion,” said Jay Connolly, president of Connolly Brothers. “That is the greatest compliment a client can pay us at Connolly, and, having walked through the halls and seeing NEA in action, it is especially gratifying to work on a building that we know will be used to make a positive difference in so many students’ lives.”

The project team includes BLW Engineers Inc. (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), Stenbeck & Taylor, Inc. (civil engineering), JSN Associates, LLC (structural engineering), and James K. Emmanuel Associates (landscape architecture).

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
