In this episode of GATEWAYS, Aimee and Ben introduce MassINC’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Fellow, Dr. Tracy Corley, who joins the podcast as a new host. We also speak with Representative Cabral and Senator Crighton about the recent neighborhood stabilization bill, which was unveiled last week in the State House by the Gateway Cities Legislative Caucus.

Tracy succinctly outlines our Transformative TOD Initiative and how TOD can be yet another impactful tool towards neighborhood stabilization efforts in Gateway Cities. Aimee also interviews Rep. Cabral and Sen. Crighton about the necessity of addressing blighted neighborhoods through their bill, forecasting the impact that it could have.

We encourage you to subscribe on iTunes to receive our latest episodes as they are released! Later this week, we will be releasing a bonus episode which features a walking tour through Worcester’s TOD area.
