Boston 1ON1
Boston 1ON1 is an opportunity for a new resident to learn about the many services in Boston that might affect them. It would also be a chance to ask questions about anything from park use to parking. As City Hall to Go already processes parking permits, provides trash and recycling stickers, assists in signing up for city apps (BOS311/PARK BOSTON), and much more, new residents can leave their meeting with all of their City business taken care of, and a better understanding of this new place they are calling home. In addition, Boston 1ON1 will introduce residents to cultural resources, state and federal resources, as well as important information regarding their new neighborhood.
