Construction to Start at Ink Block in April
A ground-breaking ceremony will be held at the future Ink Block site on Harrison Ave on April 11.
Construction at the Ink Block apartment complex site on Harrison Avenue is slated to start in April, but not before a special ground-breaking ceremony is held on April 11.
Called the "Ink Block Party," the event will feature Mayor Menino, Boston Redevelopment Authority Director Peter Meade, Ted Tye, managing partner with National Development, the project's developer, and Joe Fitzgerald, a columnist from the Boston Herald.
Menino will be removing a symbolic brick from the old Boston Herald building, and Fitzgerald will share memories from the paper's 54-year history in the building. The Herald re-located to the Seaport District in 2011.
