The 495 MetroWest
Suburban Edge Community Commission was established in the FY15 budget to investigate
challenges experienced by edge communities, develop policy responses and
recommendations as well as cultivate a pilot program to ensure that edge
communities can participate in state development initiatives.
Senator Ross is a member of the 495/MetroWest Partnership, a
public-private collaboration between businesses and municipalities with the
common goal of creating and maintaining a strong sustainable environment.
“This year, we as a legislature were able to pass vital
legislation on a number of issues that directly impact my constituents,” said
Senator Ross. “I was a strong voice on these pieces of legislation, and I look forward
to addressing transportation, energy infrastructure, and redevelopment projects
in this commission to implement real solutions for the communities I serve.”
