Gateway Cities- Transforming the Suburbs

The 26 Gateway Cities in Massachusetts were formerly home to prosperous industries that offered residents a "gateway" to the American Dream. As jobs moved elsewhere and resources remained hard to come by, these midsize urban centers faced a number of challenges in maintaining their prosperity. Mass Housing has a longstanding commitment to the revitalization of Massachusetts' Gateway Cities and have committed both resources and grant money towards development.

At our October luncheon, we took the conversation outside of Boston, to hear from city leadership about the real estate and development investment going on in some of the Commonwealth’s designated Gateway Cities. We heard from Angela Johnston with the City of New Bedford, Claire Ricker with the City of Lowell and Amanda Gregoire with the City of Worcester. This panel was moderated by Massachusetts’s Secretary of Housing and Economic Development, Secretary Jay Ash and learned what it takes to develop successfully outside of our hub city.
