[Massplanners] Greater Boston Regional Economic Development Planning Session

[Furtado, Jacqueline (SEA)]

Hello all,

On behalf of the Healey-Driscoll Administration, we want to cordially invite you to join us for the Greater Boston Regional Economic Development Planning Session next Monday, June 12th,  11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Roxbury Community College. This will be the fifth regional meeting as part of the 2023 Massachusetts Economic Development Planning Council.<https://www.mass.gov/news/governor-healey-announces-first-meeting-of-economic-development-planning-council-0> Please find a more detailed invitation attached.

Over the course of the next several months, the Economic Development Planning Council will work to set long term goals, measurable benchmarks, and propose major economic development initiatives to guide Massachusetts' economic development policy over the next four years. These engagement sessions will be an integral part of this work as we seek to collect public input and feedback this spring and summer relative to the state's economic development needs and opportunities.

This session will allow residents, municipal leaders, businesses, and organizations from Greater Boston area to engage with state officials in the process of developing the economic plan, policy, and strategy for our state. At each session, we will have breakout tables to collect input in the general areas of:

1) Business Climate; 2) Community and Neighborhood Development; 3) Key Clusters and Innovation; 4) Workforce and Talent; and 5) Equity and Opportunity.

We look forward to having open and productive conversations with you as we work on a strategy that promotes vibrant communities and growing businesses. With this economic plan, we pledge to ensure residents of Massachusetts have the opportunity for a great career, earn a living, build a family, and thrive here in the Commonwealth.

Finally, we ask for your help in getting the word out so that we can maximize this event and collect the insight that we need to make the best plan possible. We ask that you use and share the following link to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/greater-boston-regional-economic-development-planning-session-tickets-643988305357

Regards,
Jacquie
