Science & Technology

Mass Insight is coordinating a drive to raise the visibility of Massachusetts R&D initiatives, to advocate for a science and technology-based economic development strategy, and facilitate new business-university collaboration opportunities.

Massachusetts Clean Water Council

Since 1992, Mass Insight has run the Massachusetts Clean Water Council (MCWC), a statewide partnership of leaders from major public water authorities, mayors, town managers and public works directors facing water resource challenges, and private sector professionals, to advocate for adequate state and federal funding and effective regulatory priorities for drinking water and wastewater projects.

MCWC has been a partner with the state environmental agencies and EPA-New England on numerous regulatory initiatives, is a source of information for the state's congressional delegation, and has been a key player with the executive and legislative branches and the state treasurer's office on all funding debates since 1992 related to the State Revolving Loan funds (SRFs) which support water projects. more>

Infrastructure — Transportation, Water, Energy, and Telecommunications

In partnership with the Artery Business Committee, Associated Industries of Massachusetts, Mass Insight's Clean Water Council, the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, and individual partners, the initiative advocates a coordinated economic development strategy for transportation, water, energy and telecommunications.
