Scoped FJI evidence check · October 16, 2026

Target: 2024 development announcement; first-service schedules by Ridgeville/Pine Hill and St George/Winding Woods remain unmatched.

Dated evidence: Company states a Dorchester opening in 2024; no proof both new campuses fully delivered.

Still open: County fact sheet returned 403; government class attempted. Two-campus boundary, operating MW and phase spend unresolved. Statewide $3.3bn is not Dorchester-only.
