Cutting the ribbon...
It's the ribbon cutting of the Revere Community Center. The center still occupied the old site of the Revere High School building, the same site that had seen both tragedy and heroism during the riot. It had not been possible to salvage the old building, only the name Revere.
The original building had not been salvageable and perhaps it was for the best. Slowly but surely District X was being rebuilt and already two new apartment buildings had been completed. Three more were expected to be completed by the end of the summer with shops to go with. Another round of buildings, and it was hoped that they could be co-oped, would be done by the end of the year. Most of the buildings had green design incorporated in them, it was how the rebuilding qualified for so many grants and tax breaks. X-Corporation was primarily heading the reconstruction but there were opportunities. There was a strict code for the buildings. The housing had to be affordable. While the housing was supposed to be open to everyone, those who had been displaced during the riots did have first priority. As long as these conditions had been met, anyone was eligible to help contribute.
Guilt had helped played a part in how swiftly the restoration was coming along.
And now the Revere Community Center was complete, a huge ribbon cutting ceremony had been planned and a community block party afterward. The extensive facilities would be shown off for the media along with the playground and green space that had been built next to it.
It was supposed to be a good day.
