Massachusetts, MITRE Launch the Massachusetts Innovation Bridge

Massachusetts, MITRE Launch the Massachusetts Innovation Bridge
New Partnership Will Connect the Commonwealth’s Innovators to Federal Agencies and Solve Federal Challenges

BOSTON – Today Governor Charlie Baker announced the launch of the Massachusetts Innovation Bridge, a partnership between the Commonwealth and The MITRE Corporation, a public interest nonprofit that operates research and development centers sponsored by the federal government. The Innovation Bridge will help federal agencies solve the nation’s most difficult challenges by tapping into the world-leading innovation and high-tech ecosystem in Massachusetts, while creating new business opportunities in the Commonwealth.

Through the Innovation Bridge, federal agencies will create new relationships with innovative academic institutions, thought leaders, established companies, and with companies that previously did not work with the federal government. Together, they will discover innovative ideas, products, and services to enhance federal agency missions. The new collaborative workspace will also give Massachusetts companies, higher education institutions, and nonprofits access to new federal business opportunities.

The partnership with MITRE will also strengthen the Commonwealth’s military installations, by building on the existing connections between the innovation economy and state military assets such as Hanscom Air Force Base, Natick Soldier Systems Center, and Joint Base Cape Cod.

“Massachusetts is the most innovative state in the nation, and we are uniquely equipped to forge connections between private-sector innovators and the Department of Defense," said Governor Baker. “The Massachusetts Innovation Bridge will be an important piece of connective tissue in our state's innovation ecosystem. This first-of-its-kind workplace will foster deep collaboration between Massachusetts researchers and innovators, and mission-driven federal partners hungry for innovative solutions.”

"For the Air Force, we really see diversity as mission critical,” said Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James. “We need to broaden our partnerships to include non-traditional companies to ensure we can access cutting-edge technology and ideas."

The Innovation Bridge, located at CIC Boston, will be a first-of-its-kind collaborative business portal. The Innovation Bridge will provide a dedicated space for leadership forums and workshops, technology scouting, and venture capital portfolio and university research exchanges. The Innovation Bridge will also stage hackathons and crowd-sourcing opportunities, and host events to educate entrepreneurs about federal acquisition and emerging simplified acquisition opportunities.

MITRE will provide a dedicated senior executive to lead, plan, and coordinate the Innovation Bridge’s mission and operations. The Innovation Bridge’s operations will be underpinned by MITRE’s deep technical expertise in areas critical to the nation and Massachusetts.

MassDevelopment, the state’s finance and development authority, and the lead agency supporting the Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force, will provide convening capability, office space and administrative support for the Innovation Bridge.

The Massachusetts National Guard will also offer connections to military leadership and the high-tech industry. The Innovation Bridge held its first event today, an industry forum, in collaboration with Secretary of the United States Air Force Deborah James.

“Massachusetts leads the nation in innovation, and it’s important that we strengthen the relationships between federal agencies and our local businesses, universities, and researchers,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren. “These partnerships are good for the federal government, and they help build opportunities for businesses and institutions here in the Commonwealth.”

“In the 21st century, the technologies that are transforming our world are coming from Massachusetts,” said Senator Edward J. Markey. “From life sciences to high technology to advanced manufacturing, everyone wants to be a part of our amazing ecosystem of innovation and ingenuity. The Massachusetts Innovation Bridge will be an incubator for the ideas, discussions and networks that will solve our greatest challenges, connecting the wealth of Massachusetts’s research, military and educational assets to the federal government. I commend Governor Baker and the MITRE Corporation for their partnership in building this new critical infrastructure.”

“Our region has earned an enviable reputation as a magnet for innovation thanks to our unparalleled concentration of world-class universities, federally-funded research facilities, trailblazing tech companies and our talented workforce,” said Congresswoman Niki Tsongas. “Giving the federal government greater access to this leading innovation ecosystem by building a ‘bridge to innovation’ will create new business opportunities for local companies and universities, and will help federal agencies better leverage the rapidly advancing high tech landscape. The Governor’s Military Task Force, MassDevelopment and MITRE deserve credit for turning this pioneering idea into reality. And, I appreciate Secretary James’s support and partnership, which combined with the Innovation Bridge announcement, is recognition of the widespread economic and national security benefits that our region readily provides.”

“Massachusetts is the home to world class universities, renowned research facilities in multiple sectors and dynamic technology innovators,” said Congressman Mike Capuano. “By facilitating a partnership between non-governmental entities and state and federal government agencies, we will foster new opportunities for collaboration, job creation and research based economic growth.”

“The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is home to leaders in academia, business, defense, and the high tech sector who consistently work together to advance our innovation economy,” said Congressman Stephen F. Lynch. “By directly connecting Massachusetts’ businesses and organizations with our federal agencies through the Massachusetts Innovation Bridge, the Commonwealth’s private sector can innovatively address the challenges facing our public sector. I give great credit to Governor Baker, MassDevelopment, and the Governor’s Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force for being the driving force behind this important initiative.”

“These partnerships underscore the vital contributions of the Commonwealth’s ecosystem of innovation,” said Congresswoman Katherine Clark. “By connecting the federal government to our world-class research, innovators, businesses, and universities, we are solidifying our role as a national leader in the 21st century economy.”

“The convergence of government and technology is critical to meeting the needs of a 21st century economy,” said Congressman Seth Moulton. “The Massachusetts Innovation Bridge partnership is an example of why this is the case. This partnership will connect the federal government with world-leading innovation and high-tech centers to address our needs. It will also solidify our state’s role as a leader in the innovation economy and strengthen our capacity to help develop advanced national defense solutions.”

“We’re excited to partner with the Commonwealth to bring the Innovation Bridge to life and provide a unique venue to bridge between federal agencies and the vibrant Boston innovation ecosystem,” said Peter Sherlock, MITRE senior vice president.“Our public interest mission, conflict-free charter, technical skills and labs enable us to work on behalf of our federal sponsors to harness the region’s strengths and address the nation’s hardest challenges.”

“The Innovation Bridge provides direct access for federal agencies to the nation’s leading innovation ecosystem, and vice versa,” said MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones. “We look forward to working with MITRE, military installations, and other government, business, university and federal lab organizations such as the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative and MIT’s Lincoln Labs to build new relationships and expand opportunities for the Commonwealth’s established and entrepreneurial economic drivers.”

About the Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force

Housed within the Office of the Governor and supported by the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development and MassDevelopment, the Task Force coordinates among the Commonwealth’s six military facilities to maximize their efficiency. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is home to six military installations with more than $13 billion in total economic activity and support for nearly 58,000 jobs, including Hanscom Air Force Base, Natick Soldier Systems Center, Joint Base Cape Cod, Fort Devens, Westover Air Force Reserve Base and Barnes Air National Guard Base.

Robust Remodeling Growth Anticipated by Re-Benchmarked LIRA

Robust Remodeling Growth Anticipated by Re-Benchmarked LIRA
Cambridge, MA – Strongly accelerating growth in home improvement and repair spending is expected heading into 2017, according to the newly re-benchmarked Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) released today by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. The new and improved LIRA projects that home remodeling spending will increase 8.6% by the end of 2016 and then further accelerate to 9.7% by the first quarter of next year.
“Ongoing gains in home prices and sales are encouraging more homeowners to pursue larger-scale improvement projects this year compared to last with permitted projects climbing at a good pace,” says Chris Herbert, Managing Director of the Joint Center. “On the strength of these gains, the level of annual spending for remodeling and repairs is expected to reach nearly $325 billion nationally by early next year.”
“Our freshly recalibrated indicator now forecasts a broader segment of the national residential remodeling market that includes both improvement and repair activity to the owner-occupied housing stock,” says Abbe Will, a research analyst in the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center. “With this re-benchmarking, the LIRA now more accurately sizes the remodeling market and continues to anticipate major turning points in the spending cycle.”
--
The Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) provides a short-term outlook of national home improvement and repair spending to owner-occupied homes. The indicator, measured as an annual rate-of-change of its components, is designed to project the annual rate of change in spending for the current quarter and subsequent four quarters, and is intended to help identify future turning points in the business cycle of the home improvement and repair industry. Originally developed in 2007, the LIRA was re-benchmarked in April 2016 to a broader market measure based on the biennial American Housing Survey. An explanation of this re-benchmarking and recalculation of the LIRA model is provided in “Re-Benchmarking the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity.”
The LIRA is released by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University in the third week after each quarter’s closing. The next LIRA release date is July 21, 2016.
The Remodeling Futures Program, initiated by the Joint Center for Housing Studies in 1995, is a comprehensive study of the factors influencing the growth and changing characteristics of housing renovation and repair activity in the United States. The Program seeks to produce a better understanding of the home improvement industry and its relationship to the broader residential construction industry.
The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies advances understanding of housing issues and informs policy. Through its research, education, and public outreach programs, the center helps leaders in government, business, and the civic sectors make decisions that effectively address the needs of cities and communities. Through graduate and executive courses, as well as fellowships and internship opportunities, the Joint Center also trains and inspires the next generation of housing leaders. For more information, please visitwww.jchs.harvard.edu.

BRA receives six proposals for the redevelopment of Winthrop Square Garage

BRA receives six proposals for the redevelopment of Winthrop Square Garage
Inter-agency committee will review submissions with the goal of designating a developer this summer

BOSTON – The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) today received six proposals to redevelop a prime parcel in Winthrop Square, which is currently home to a city-owned parking garage that has been closed for nearly three years. Several developers that responded to a preliminary Request for Interest issued by the BRA in February 2015 submitted more detailed plans for their proposed projects based on the goals outlined in the BRA’s recent Request for Proposals (RFP).
Working with officials from other city agencies and departments, including the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development, the Department of Neighborhood Development, the Boston Transportation Department, and the Environment Department, the BRA will now turn its attention to reviewing submissions, with the goal of designating a developer this summer. The selected firm would then go through the BRA’s standard development review process, known as Article 80, which involves public vetting and community meetings.
“We are pleased that so many respected and qualified development teams responded to the RFP, and we’re eager to learn more about their ideas for the future of the property,” said BRA Director Brian Golden. “It’s hard to imagine a better real estate climate in which to attract ambitious proposals for a location with as much potential as this one. Now is the time to capitalize on this opportunity.”
The BRA received a range of proposals that contemplate towers anchored by new residences, offices, hotel rooms, retail shops, or a mix of uses. HYM Investment Group, Millennium Partners, Trans National Group, Accordia Partners, Trinity Financial, and a joint venture of Lendlease Development, Hudson Group North America, and Eagle Development Partners submitted proposals. All of the submissions are available on the BRA’s website, and visitors are able to submit comments about the proposals online.
The inter-agency review committee plans to meet with prospective developers to discuss the proposals in May. The BRA will organize a public open house where developers will be allowed to present their concepts.
Located within walking distance of the Greenway, Post Office Square, and Downtown Crossing, the Winthrop Square parcel is just over an acre in size. The types of projects being proposed, which would benefit from convenient access to major public transit hubs at South Station, Downtown Crossing, and Park Street, would add to a city skyline that is already being reshaped by several new towers under construction. Based on guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration, Winthrop Square could accommodate a building as tall as 725 feet, potentially making a project there among the tallest in the city.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the BRA have called for an iconic building to replace the dilapidated two-story concrete garage that currently occupies the site. The RFP asked developers to envision a project that will serve as a catalyst for new commercial activity, improved public open space, and better connectivity to this area of Boston’s downtown. City officials are seeking a project that embraces bold design and innovative architecture, as well as green building principles that reduce environmental impacts.
The BRA’s urban design staff will carefully consider the extent to which proposals would activate the surrounding streets with new shops, cafes, restaurants, and green space. Prospective developers were also encouraged to offer designs that provide public spaces throughout the upper floors of the building.
