It was paws-itively wonderful joining community members last week to celebrate new public spaces in the #Revere #TDIMass District, inc. the Fitzhenry Dog Park! TDI Fellow Laura Christopher spoke about the participatory budgeting process that made these investments possible. 🐾

Last Friday in #Fitchburg we joined @MassEOED Sec. Paley, The Tocci Group & other leaders to celebrate two downtown buildings being redeveloped into #housing & retail. Work is starting at 533 Main St. & PowerSurge Bar Arcade is now open at 347 Main St. w/ apartments leasing soon!

Yesterday was a proud day for our team as we helped break ground on 45 new apartments in #NewBedford! Putting the long-vacant Keystone site on a path to redevelopment involved an extensive & collaborative effort across our agency’s divisions & w/ state, local & private partners.
