Boston Mayor Martin Walsh today nominated Priscilla Rojas of John Hancock Financial and Carol Downs, co-owner and general manager of Bella Luna & The Milky Way in Jamaica Plain, to the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and Economic Development Industrial Corp. (EDIC) board of directors.

Rojas and Downs will replace Consuelo Gonzales-Thornell and Paul Foster, whose terms on the board have expired.

The five-member board of directors is made up of four mayoral appointees and one appointee selected by the governor. Walsh’s nominees will require confirmation by the Boston City Council before they can assume their duties.

“As change continues at the BRA, I’m excited for the new perspectives that Priscilla and Carol will bring to the table,” Walsh said in a statement. “I’m confident that their diverse backgrounds in business and development will benefit our city as we move forward.”
