Interested in learning more about our work on housing? Our 2019 Housing Initiative Year in Review Infographic is now available. We met with 235 business leaders and professionals, 55 local officials and community leaders, endorsed 12 projects and town initiatives and much, much more. We’re working hard to address the region’s housing shortage and to get our business community involved and engaged in this very important conversation. It’s a critical piece of our larger economic and community development plan. More information is available at www.southshore2030.com.

Always interesting to see how much Chambers are doing behind the scenes to support growth, especially around housing and development. In places like Maine, those conversations are just as important—housing availability, land use, and smart development all go hand in hand with a strong local economy. When business leaders and communities stay engaged like this, it really helps drive long-term growth across the region.
