Vote Yes on Massachusetts Ballot Question 7

Eight weeks into my introductory economics class, and I’ve already learned the economic tools needed to address the housing crisis Massachusetts is facing. As anyone who has taken an analogous course can tell you, the way to fix a shortage without changing demand is to increase supply, and one key way to increase supply is deregulation. In the housing market, this means removing overly restrictive zoning rules that inhibit the construction of homes. On Nov. 3, voters in Massachusetts have the opportunity to make that happen.

A governor who shows up for the Berkshires

It is one thing for a governor to know where the Berkshires are. It is another to understand what it takes to live here. I first encountered Maura Healey in January 2020, when I was serving on the Great Barrington Selectboard. I had traveled to the State House to testify on a home rule petition concerning the return of horse racing to the Great Barrington Fairgrounds.

NFPA to Leave Quincy, Puts 50-Acre Campus Up for Sale

1600 Crown Colony Dr. — Approximate Site Of Planned Development. The National Fire Protection Association is preparing to leave Quincy, putting its longtime Batterymarch Park campus on the market in a move that could open the door to new housing in the office park. The four-building, 528,540-square-foot campus sits on nearly 50 acres in West Quincy, and brokers marketing the property say existing zoning already allows for multifamily housing with City Council approval through a special permit.

Green tech firm eyes Brockton for new factory

BROCKTON — The city is close to a big economic win. An innovative but well-established green tech company plans to open a factory that would bring Brockton 100 jobs. Durra Panel USA LLC uses the leftovers from wheat and rice production to make construction panels. The company touts them as a durable, eco-friendly choice that can save builders up to 32% off materials and labor costs. "It essentially replaces drywall," said Maria Giatrelis, chief revenue officer for Durra Panel USA. She and other executives from the company visited their potential Brockton home, 132 Campanelli Industrial Drive , on Monday, Oct. 26. They'd be an anchor tenant at the 300,000+ square-foot warehouse. Durra Panel would hire about 100 people Derek Layfield , founder of the Australian company that originally made Durra Panel and an advisor to the U.S. operation, said the factory would employ about 100 people when it opens. He said another 1,000 jobs might be created as support companies sprout nearby. One example: powder-coating for steel components. Brockton's labor force was a draw. "People in Brockton know how to do this," Layfield said of the various manufacturing jobs they'll need to fill. The city's location right off Route 24
