Marty Walsh Promises New Economic Goal Focused on Neighborhoods

On his State of the City speech, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced the creation of a new Economic Development Center focused on connecting residents to better jobs, helping small businesses grow and improve public input in economic development and policy-making.

“Creating more pathways to economic security and success means a stronger, better city for all. Through programs like the Economic Development Center, we are building Boston’s middle class and ensuring we are a city where all can achieve and thrive,” Walsh said.
