2013-2016 Strategic Plan

Riley Area Development Corporation is excited to announce the way ahead with the strategic plan for 2013-2016. We’re really looking forward to new opportunities and projects that aim to inspire innovation, create business, and attract outsiders to our local neighborhoods.

We believe that Mass Ave and our cultural districts have a lot to offer, we want to continue the trend by continuing our mission in housing, community and economic development while making our neighborhoods attractive. We want our public spaces to be raved about for years to come.

Riley is in the business of making memories and creating opportunities. We think that our strategic plan will enable us to identify new and ongoing opportunities that demonstrate just how wonderful our city is. Please join and support us!

Trail Side on Mass Ave. Groundbreaking

Around 60 people braved the raw and damp weather to turn out for the Trail Side on Mass Ave Groundbreaking, Thursday, February 24, 2011. Several speakers, including Representative André Carson and Councillor Jackie Nytes, spoke of the progress of the Mass Ave corridor, praising Trail Side as a development that furthered the goals of building an exciting and diverse urban landscape. The event culminated in the unfurling of a 30 foot banner by several attending dignitaries.

Trail Side will have 69 affordable apartments on the upper three floors and 11,000 sq. ft. of retail space on the first. Tenant parking will be in an underground garage. Projected opening time is in the first quarter of 2012. The developers are Riley Area Development Corporation and Monument Realty. Monument Construction is the construction manager.
