Continuing my #ecdevflashcards series with laying out how DIFs work in Massachusetts. The captured incremental tax revenue is not restricted to hard costsā DIFs *can* be a dynamic tool for stabilization in downtowns experiencing rapid growth.
I love working with @WeeRevere!! So glad this month gives an extra excuse to shout them outš¢š·
#GatewayCities are home to diverse, vibrant communities. We're grateful for #Revere #TDIMass partner @WeeRevere, led by Olga Tacure, which is working to empower local immigrant & refugee women & build an inclusive city.

Was very moved by the newest art installation at City Hall this morning. *We belong here together guided by the same stars* - by local Boston artist Yu-wen Wu.
Was pretty cool to get the chance to chat about what the Shirley Ave TDI Partnership is working on in #RevereMA. And weāre just getting started!
Check out @BankerTradesman's recent Q&A w/ our #Revere #TDIMass fellow Laura Christopher on how she's working w/ local partners to strengthen the Shirley Ave. corridor. Bonus: local restaurant recommendations! #GatewayCities

Zooming out from the day-to-day to examine the systems that underlie our status quo. So far Iāve found teams at @CityOfBoston to be pretty good at āimaginingā ā we need to get stronger at trying more experiments and scaling the ones that work. Thanks @MitchWei for the inspo āØ
Multi-tenant or āshared spacesā can help business communities mitigate rising operating cost burdens, reduce the threat of commercial displacement, and provide platforms for emerging entrepreneurs while adding increased vibrancy to the neighborhood.

I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.
I just started up a new insta to share simple visualizations of economic development concepts, you can follow it here!

What should I add to the list?!
