The Dorchester site of Shaffer Paper will be turned into a park, after years of toxic dumping, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation will transform the fourteen acre industrial site on the mouth of the Neponset River into a park. Patrick D. Rosso of Boston.com has written an excellent article on the project. Visit http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/dorchester/2013/12/hold_shaffer_paper_site_in_dorchester_to_be_cleaned_and_turn.html to read his complete report. If you wish to see the conceptual plans and hear a report by DCR officials, attend the Port Norfolk Civic Association meeting on Tuesday, December 17, beginning at 7 pm at the Port Norfolk Yacht Club, 179 Walnut Street in Dorchester.
