Please join Bowditch & Dewey and our guests to discuss regional economic development. ‘A rising tide lifts all boats’ — a saying that certainly applies to Central Massachusetts, that is, what is good for one community can be good for those that surround it. Attendees will learn about the many successes that such partnerships have achieved and have the opportunity to share ideas for future collaboration.
