In 2024, Dorchester Bay joined community partners in testifying for legislation that finally expanded access to liquor licenses in the neighborhoods we serve - a step towards closing Boston’s racial wealth gap.
This new legislation created 225 new licenses reserved for neighborhoods where entrepreneurs have long been priced out of buying liquor licenses, which can be essential for sustaining sit-down restaurants.
Dorchester Bay-backed businesses like Comfort Kitchen and Just Book-ish, mentioned in this Boston Globe article, are an essential part of creating vibrant, thriving neighborhoods: they are engines of economic development that act as vital community gathering spaces.
The impacts of this legislation represent a meaningful step forward for our neighborhoods, opening space for more vibrant, culturally rich, community-rooted businesses to thrive, which strengthens both local economies and Boston’s identity as a whole.

🏘️ Before 2025 closes, stand with Dorchester Bay at a moment when stability is under real pressure across our neighborhoods.
This year, we delivered food to neighbors when access narrowed, preserved affordable homes as costs climbed, and strengthened pathways to training, capital, and careers.
The conditions shaping 2026 will demand more steadiness, sharper discernment, and deeper community-rooted action.
