TACC BLOG

Thanks for visiting TACC’s Blog. We look forward to sharing in greater detail the ideas, people, and organizations that drive our work in Boston and in cities across the United States.

Our mission and all that we share is anchored in our belief that by working together with local residents and a range of entities in a single neighborhood, we can address complex problems – and in time – help transform distressed neighborhoods into places where urban families flourish.

We urge you to follow TACC on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter in addition to this blog. We promise not to inundate you, but are excited to share with you our views on important community issues, policies and ideas that affect cities, the progress of our projects, as well as introductions to people and partnerships that matter to us.
