Economic Opportunity and Inclusion
We help businesses launch, grow, and thrive in the City of Boston.
We aim to make Boston a global model of economic equity for working people, entrepreneurs, businesses, and investors. Our goal is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of government, the quality of life for all Bostonians, and the experience of all visitors.
We do this by:
- Implementing sustainable practices that repair economic harm and help build generational wealth,
- fostering local talent and innovative ideas,
- creating thriving and healthy neighborhoods,
- establishing equitable procurement strategies, and
- strengthening the partnership between the City and local organizations.
