It’s tremendous to see the Commonwealth redouble their support for the Massachusetts life sciences and innovation ecosystem. The future is bright. 😎 #biotech #lifesciences #unionsquaresomerville #innovationeconomy #boston
A momentous day for our ecosystem and our Commonwealth and a new chapter for the Massachusetts Life Sciences Initiative. Today, Governor Maura Healey signed into law the Mass Leads Act, an economic development bill that will build on the success of our renowned life sciences sector. The package will create jobs, support business growth, expand workforce development programs and support rural and regional economic development initiatives. Governor Healey will host a ceremonial signing event in the near future. The legislation positions the Healey-Driscoll Administration to begin executing on the billion-dollar initiatives. This includes a $500 million capital reauthorization of the state’s Life Sciences Initiative over 10 years and an expansion of a tax credit program designed to spur job creation and growth in the life sciences industry.

A big thank you to the students from Boston College Real Estate Club and Boston University for joining USQ President Greg Karczewski on separate days last week for a project tour of USQ and a deeper dive into the Union Square Revitalization in Somerville, MA. We covered master plan goals, explored market dynamics, and walked our completed life sciences and residential spaces. We’re always excited to use USQ as a learning lab, offering local students a unique chance to connect classroom learning with real-world experience. Go Eagles! Go Terriers!
