BRIDGING GAPS AND BREAKING DOWN BARRIERs

Strengthening a city, together, The Gateway Project’s mission is to provide support by bridging the economic gap for communities, residents, developers, non-profits, entrepreneurs, businesses, and artists in economically depressed cities throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Our strategies in pursuit of our mission include providing technical assistance management for non-English speaking applicants seeking economic development monies, serving as a land bank for projects that align with the mission, creating housing for all people, and grant management activities.
