Commonwealth Places Program

MassDevelopment’s “Commonwealth Places” is a competitive opportunity to advance locally driven placemaking in downtown and neighborhood commercial districts in eligible communities throughout Massachusetts. Placemaking is a collaborative process through which people in communities work together to improve vacant, underutilized or repurposed publicly-accessible spaces and maximize their shared value.

Commonwealth Places is now part of the Community One Stop for Growth, a single application portal and collaborative review process of community development grant programs.
