BOSTON — The impact of the pandemic on the southeastern Massachusetts business and housing sectors – and the steps that will be needed to recover – were the focus of the inaugural session of the Massachusetts Senate Committee named Reimagining Massachusetts Post-Pandemic Resiliency.
“Today marked the committee's first step in listening to experts and impacted individuals in Massachusetts on the topics of housing, the digital divide, and business concerns,” said Sen. John Keenan, D-Quincy, during a virtual meeting held Tuesday. “It is my hope that this committee will build off of the insight we gain to make informed and equitable recommendations on ways the Commonwealth can emerge from this pandemic with leadership, greater resilience, and a clear vision of our post-pandemic future.”
