Process for Submitting MarketReady Properties

MassEcon has assembled an advisory committee made up of real estate, permitting, and land use experts that will evaluate each property submission for market readiness. The committee meetings will be scheduled on an as needed basis, based on the number of submissions.  Communities, real estate brokers, and developers can submit their existing land sites and buildings for potential inclusion in the Market Ready national promotion marketing program. Eligible sites can include those approved for 43D, Growth Districts, and any others.
