Choosing Our Future

The South Shore Chamber of Commerce's economic and community development plan.
​The Chamber’s South Shore 2030 plan lays out a roadmap to create the right environment for current and future businesses to thrive.  It builds on the idea that businesses do well in, and new businesses locate to, communities where there is a healthy supply of talent because of the interesting, diverse, and attractive places to live and work.  Housing, Transportation, Infrastructure all play a critical role in this strategy.  The plan’s focus is to encourage greater housing options and attract the next generation of workers, increase infrastructure capacity to promote growth, and find transportation solutions to keep and attract new businesses to our communities. 

BREAKING NEWS: Housing Choice legislation passed in the legislature as part of Economic Development Bill H.5250. The South Shore Chamber of Commerce was an early supporter of this proposal to promote more housing by a changing the threshold from a super-majority (66%) to a simple majority vote (51%) on 9 types of zoning reform.Thank you to our Senators and Representatives who approved this legislation as part of the economic development bill.
