The complex is run by the state Department of Conservation and Recreation and can house up to 400 people, Gov. Maura Healey said at a news conference Wednesday evening.
Healey said the plan to turn the rec center into an overflow site is a temporary one, adding that the facility will be reopened to the public by June. But local residents have been critical of the plan to open a shelter at the recreation center, saying the neighborhood is already overburdened and under-resourced, and the plan will disrupt vital programs residents rely on.
