Regional planning group to talk economic development, open space, and transportation

The 495/MetroWest Development Compact will hold two presentations this month on regional economic development, open space, and transportation planning in its 37 member communities located along the 495 corridor and in Metrowest. The first presentation is tomorrow in Worcester.

Municipal officials, legislators, business executives, open space advocates, developers, and interested members of the public are encouraged to attend one of the two sessions. Here’s more detail.

495/MetroWest Development Compact

November 9 at Worcester’s Union Station
November 15 at Framingham’s Town Hall
Open House : 6—7pm
Public Meeting: 7—9pm

Join us for evening presentations about a regional vision for economic prosperity, preservation of open space, and improved transportation in the 495/MetroWest region. The 495/MetroWest Development compact kicked off in the spring in 2011. Through meetings with each city and town and regional forums, input was gathered on priorities for preservation and development. That input is the foundation for a regional vision intended to guide the investment of limited public sector resources in the future.

At either presentation, learn more about the vision for the 495/MetroWest region; see maps and other information to help us plan for the future; and hear perspectives from a panel of experts in conservatoin, transportation, local government, and private sector development.
