Mattapan Community Health Center breaks ground on $32 million facility
Mattapan Community Health Center (MCHC) broke ground on its new $32 million facility. There was a New Orleans-style parade to its new 50,000 s/f location at 1575 Blue Hill Ave., in which Dr. Azzie Young, president and CEO of MCHC, and MCHC staff marched with governor Deval Patrick, mayor Thomas Menino and MCHC friends.
The current MCHC facility is aging and too small to accommodate the center's growing number of patients. MCHC provides care to more than 7,100 patients annually through more than 28,000 visits. The new building will incorporate expanded dental, pediatric, adolescent, women's and men's health, and mental health services.
The architect is Steffian Bradley Architects.

State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?
New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
Ask the Electrician: Is summer a prime time for commercial electrical maintenance?
The answer is “Yes!” While January marks the official new year, many businesses view September as a fresh start. This makes summer an ideal time for commercial property owners to schedule long-term electrical maintenance projects.
