About TDI:
Established in 2014, the Transformative Development Initiative (TDI) is an innovative “accelerator” program for Massachusetts Gateway Cities designed to catalyze place-based economic growth within focused districts. The program works with cross-sector partnerships to engage community members in actionable planning, implementing local economic development initiatives, and spurring further public and private investment. TDI commits to districts over a term of years, building a foundation of intensive community engagement and partnership development to deploy the program’s toolkit on projects involving real estate, small businesses, arts and culture, placemaking/placekeeping, and other areas that influence the vibrancy and vitality of diverse commercial districts.
