Life Sciences Action Agenda
In an effort to support the industry’s built environment needs, while addressing concerns from the public in relation to the location and design of these developments, the Life Sciences Action Agenda provides transparency around how the Planning Department will take a coordinated approach to guiding life sciences development.
In partnership with the public, sister City agencies, and the development community, the Life Sciences Action Agenda outlines how the Planning Department will create clear avenues for development and predictability in the city’s urban fabric, while prioritizing the safety of Boston’s residents. The BPDA is committed to continuing to leverage new investment in this industry to support equitable economic opportunities for Boston residents to encourage job creation and the growth of a resilient economy, as well as prioritizing more housing options to support this growth.
