Boston Mayor Walsh Appoints 2 to BRA, EDIC Board of Directors

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh appointed two new members to the Boston Redevelopment Authority and Economic Development Industrial Corporation board of directors on Monday.

Carol Downs, co-owner and general manager of Bella Luna & The Milky Way, and Priscilla Rojas, of John Hancock Financial, will replace Consuelo Gonzales-Thornell and Paul Foster.

“I want to first thank Consuelo and Paul for their many years of service to the BRA and the people of Boston,” said Mayor Walsh. “Together they helped guide the agency and our city through economic downturns and the development boom we’re fortunate enough to be experiencing now. As change continues at the BRA, I’m excited for the new perspectives that Priscilla and Carol will bring to the table. I’m confident that their diverse backgrounds in business and development will benefit our city as we move forward.”

The five-member board of directors is comprised of four mayoral appointees and one appointee made by the governor.
