2015 Tom Reilly discusses his economic development vision at breakfast sponsored by Mass Insight Goodwin Procter Offices, Boston, July 20 – “Massachusetts has grown complacent; MIT and Harvard alone are no longer enough to ensure our global competitiveness,” said Attorney General Tom Reilly before about 25 business and civic leaders at a Global Massachusetts 2015 Roundtable hosted by Wayne Budd of Goodwin Procter on July 20th. “We must leverage our intellectual capital and build on our college and university resources.” Reilly described his economic development plan, which calls for a $500 million, five-year investment to upgrade R&D capacity at UMass. The attorney general said the proposal would translate the Commonwealth’s educational strength into jobs by generating start-up companies. More broadly, Reilly called for better alignment of public higher education with the state economy, citing the need to address nursing shortages as an example. He also discussed other elements of his economic development agenda, including streamlining the structure of state economic development efforts and investing in infrastructure. NOTE: Mass Insight is sponsoring a series of Global Massachusetts 2015 Roundtables to facilitate discussion between gubernatorial candidates and business and education leaders.
