Mass Development, Infrastructure Financing Programs (Mar. 16, 2013) . iathenahealth Limitations to I-Cubed Funding • I-Cubed funding is difficult to obtain and subject to many limitations. There are statutory limits to the amount of available I-Cubed funding in general and as applied to a particular project within a specific community. athenahealth's economic development project is the type of investment the I-Cubed program was designed to support with $25 million in funding. • The process of obtaining I-Cubed funding is competitive, available only at the discretion of the Executive Office for Administration and Finance (A&F) and subject to budgetary approval by the Legislature. athenahealth's planned expansion meets these stringent requirements. • I-Cubed funding is explicitly tied to Athena's creating the jobs that will generate the tax revenue that funds the I-Cubed program. The program requires that: (1 ) the improvements must occur within or adjacent to the economic development project, and (2) Athena's own real estate may be encumbered with additional property tax assessments by the municipality that are available in the event of a tax revenue shortfall. 10 �ivathenahealth what public infrastructure can be funded per MassDevelopment guidelines? • Roadways and intersections • Water & waste water facilities and related lines • Transportation facilities such as train stations, bus depots, etc. • Seawalls, docks, wharves, bridges, culverts, tunnels • Streetscape, sidewalks, electric lines, street lights • Parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities • Parking garages paid by athenahealth) • Brownfield mitigation • Soft and financing costs Source:MassDevelopment Infrastructure Financing Programs(Mar. 16,2013), at htto://mosscotc.ora/documents/conference- docsl2013/R%20Suilivan%20slides%20-%201nfrastructure%203 16 13.adf 11 Vathenahealth Previous Public Process and Input • Years of collaboration and partnership between Watertown/DC R/A&F/athenahealth. • Comprehensive input from Watertown officials and DCR to identify infrastructure and overlapping needs with athenahealth. • I-Cubed Milestones: Summer 2014: athenahealth approaches Watertown management • Oct. 23, 2014: Town Manager writes in support of approval of preliminary -Cubed application, subject to Council approval. • Jan. 2, 2015: Gov.

State monitors throughout to ensure feasibility. 24 �ifathenahealth If Town Council Approves : Additional Public Input 1 . Watertown/DCR/athenahealth are committed to providing additional opportunities for public input as appropriate to the specific project. 2. Community updates will be coordinated through Watertown/DCR/athenahealth . 25 Vathenahealth Vathenahealth �ifathenahealth Previous Public Process and Input: Watertown Riverfront Project White Paper The Town of Watertown has been focused on improving the riverfront along Charles River Road since 2006 with an acknowledgement that funding would be a challenge to complete the vision all the way to Squibnocket Park. The Charles River Basin Master Plan (2002) and the design guidelines of the Watertown Riverfront Project White Paper all align to provide 15 years of direction to make bike, pedestrian, and accessibility improvements in all of the riverfront areas targeted now with real funding. "Advocates have been thinking about working on this stretch of riverfront for decades. ...A Riverfront Stewardship Group made up of representatives of the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the City of Watertown, Watertown residents, and the Solomon Fund was convened in October of 2006 to begin work on this planning effort and will continue to meet throughout the planning process...." "The proposed focus area includes a mile long crescent shaped swath of parkland along the south bank of the river between Watertown Square and the Watertown Yacht Club. The mostly wooded parkland encompasses some sixteen acres from the edge of water to parkway curb as well as limited parkland on the north side of the parkway. The specific restoration focus would be the riverbanks, woodland, and pathway along the shore that runs for approximately 5,500 linear feet- a bit over a mile. This focus area does not include Charles River Road itself nor the site of the Watertown Yacht Club and former riverfront arsenal site (Squibnocket Park) just to the east. Establishing a riverfront path in Squibnocket Park and at Daly Field should be actively promoted future phases of work." Town of Watertown Background Whitepaper: httr)://www.ci.watertown.ma.uslindex.asiox?NID=97 28 �Oathenahealth Previous Public Process and Input: Watertown Riverfront Park and Braille Trail Project SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT A two-phased effort to restore the mile-long Charles River Reservation multi-use paths and parkland between Watertown Square and the Watertown Yacht Club along Charles River Road. Public meetings were held over 2 years to build support for the project. • Phase 1 : Focused on a 3,200-foot-long, 12-acre crescent-shaped swath of parkland along the north bank of the river between Watertown Square and the Perkins School to include a Braille Trail and Sensory Garden, improvements to the site's riverbank, pathways, and landscape and a signalized crossing at the Irving Street- Charles River Road intersection. Phase 1 opened on July 16, 2016. • Phase 2: This includes pathway improvements and riverbank access and restoration along the area located on either side of the Phase 1 area, running upstream to the recently-restored Watertown Landing site at Watertown Square and downstream to the Watertown Yacht Club. • Funding: This $1 .5M project was a public private partnership funded by DCR, Town of Watertown, Perkins School for the Blind, and multiple local foundations. Simmons College is providing the DCR $500K to fund design of Phase 2. • httr)://www.mass.Qov/eeo/agencies/dcr/conservation/planning-and-resource-protection/projects/wotertown-riverfront-park-and- braille-trail-oroiect.html • Support from Elected Officials, including Sen. Brownsberger (D-Belmont) and Rep. Hecht (D-Watertown). �ifathenahealth Previous Public Process and Input:Charles River Basin Master Plan • In 1997, The Metropolitan District Commission took the initial steps to author a Master Plan for the first time for the Basin . • The Master Plan took over 2 years to complete and included hundreds of Basin advocates and users volunteering over 4000 hours of their time to the planning effort. • A Citizens Advisory Committee was established, 500 abutters along the river were surveyed, 7 full public meetings, 3 large workshops, and dozens of subcommittee meetings were held . • The goal was to use the plan and input to mobilize public support to implement the plan in the next 5- 15 years - or 2013. • For example, The Plan recommends maintaining open riverbank and adding car-top boat launches at Squibnocket and off Greenough Blvd . (p42) . . .The 2015 Watertown Comprehensive Plan carries forward unrealized goals of the Charles River Basin Master Plan. �ifathenahealth Previous Public Process and Input: Watertown Comprehensive Plan Each of the I-Cubed projects described in our presentation directly contributes to the achievement of Watertown's "Vision for 2025" approved by the Town Council in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan. The Watertown community envisions a future that: • has a stronger relationship with the Charles River Reservation, where residents and businesses benefit from enhanced connections to the river, more waterfront activities, preservation and respect of the ecology. . . • is shaped by a built environment along each of its squares and corridors that reinforces Watertown's character, achieving balance between design, preservation, and redevelopment efforts. . . • is proactive in maintaining and developing its infrastructure and public services. . . • incorporates welcoming, attractive streetscapes and gateways on well- designed pedestrian-oriented, bicycle-friendly, tree-lined streets; • is a community that promotes an active, healthy lifestyle where residents have access to social services, nutritious and affordable food, and places to be physically active."

The Comprehensive Plan's Implementation Plan will be accelerated with I-Cubed funding. In 2015, the Watertown Town Council voted to pursue the following goals: LANDUSE: Goal 4. "Establish criteria for development along Pleasant and Arsenal Street to ensure projects are sensitive to the Charles River and public ways." 4G. "Provide for public access, as well as visual corridors, to the Charles River where practicable." TRANSPORTATION: 3A.1: "Where appropriate, design ADA compliant sidewalks that include a landscaping buffer, where feasible, between sidewalk and roadway." 3A.9: "Existing and future streetscape enhancements along roadways should connect directly to the [Charles River] Reservation." 3B.3: "As Arsenal Street is redeveloped ensure that Complete Streets techniques are used that include the option to provide bicycle lanes/features along the entire corridor." 5E: "Install timed signals along Arsenal Street...to allow traffic to move at a steady rate to minimize air quality impacts from "stop and go" traffic..." NATURAL RESOURCES: 1 G. "Continue to work with stakeholder groups to support stewardship, protection and access for the Charles River and ensure high water quality to benefit flora, fauna and good health." 513: "Consider the historic value of landscape features of the historic Arsenal Properties" Source:Watertown 2015 Comprehensive Plan Implementation Plan.
