This week, protesters in Chinatown demonstrated against Millennium Partners’ underpayment of its Inclusionary Development Policy requirements. Organizers have estimated that the developer underpaid the city’s public housing fund by $14.9 million for its two recent luxury housing buildings abutting Chinatown.
Monday’s demonstration is not the first time that Millennium Partners has upset the community. Earlier this month, hundreds of demonstrators convened in the Filene’s Basement construction site to protest the company’s lack of adherence to the Boston Residents Jobs Policy, which would recommend 51 percent residents, 51 percent people of color, and 15 percent women be employed by the construction contractor.
Millennium Partners was given an $8 million tax break by the City of Boston last year.
