My legislative Aide, Yoshki Wurtz, attended the #GatewayCities Leadership Summit hosted by MassINC. This event connected municipal leaders with senior state officials, focusing on how Massachusetts can continue to flourish during uncertain times. Bringing people together fuels hope and development.

Studies have shown that #rail is the most environmentally friendly mode of #transportation. New Bedford & other #GatewayCities of SE Massachusetts will soon have this safe, reliable travel option for work, school, medical visits & events.

2024 Gateway Cities Housing Monitor To recover from an affordable housing crisis that has been decades in the making, Massachusetts needs Gateway City housing markets to produce new homes in line with increasing demand.

The report I’ve been working tirelessly on about #housing in #GatewayCities was released on Thursday! Gateway Cities used to be a pressure release valve on housing affordability in Massachusetts, but now they too face a supply shortage. massinc.org/research/202...

How NOT to encourage transit in #gatewaycities. To get from downtown #Peabody to the #Salem train station:

🚗 8 minute drive
🚌 39 minute bus ride

This cuts Peabody off from the economic benefit of Salem and makes driving the only viable option in the city. @MBTA lets fix this!
