Project Description

Call For Districts:  New Transformative Development Initiative (TDI) District Cohort (2026-2029)

MassDevelopment's Transformative Development Initiative (TDI) is a unique initiative supporting small and mid-sized post-industrial cities. The program brings state resources directly to neighborhoods most in need—working hand-in-hand with local partners to strengthen community engagement, support small businesses, advance real estate projects, enhance arts and cultural assets, and drive lasting economic development. Each TDI District receives intensive, place-based support over a three-year period. Participating cities form a cross-sector partnership that grows more representative and resilient throughout the program’s duration.

TDI will select six new Gateway City Districts to join the 2026–2029 cohort. All Gateway Cities in Massachusetts are eligible to apply, including Attleboro, Barnstable, Brockton, Chelsea, Chicopee, Everett, Fall River, Fitchburg, Haverhill, Holyoke, Lawrence, Leominster, Lowell, Lynn, Malden, Methuen, New Bedford, Peabody, Quincy, Revere, Salem, Springfield, Taunton, Westfield, and Worcester.
