"We really do see that young professionals embrace the Greenway. Many of them live in the neighborhoods that surround the park. We've heard from a lot of them that they want an opportunity to support the Greenway," Michael Nichols, the Greenway's Chief of Staff, told WBZ-TV.
WBZ is proud to be a sponsor of the Janet Echelman sculpture installation above the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
