We're speeding up review times for new housing because the faster we get shovels in the ground, the faster families get to move into new, reasonably priced homes.

Right now, it can take a year or more to get new homes through the environmental review process. That's way too long. So, let's speed it up. Let's make it 30 days. We don't need to choose between protecting the environment and building more homes. We can do it all.

We’re teaming up across state government to cut housing costs. These proposed reforms will get critical housing projects across the finish line faster and prioritize the kinds of housing we need most – dense, energy efficient, and resilient buildings that will stay affordable.
Housing development delays raise costs and limit options for families across Massachusetts. @MassGovernor's draft @MEPAalerts reforms cut red tape so we can build more homes more quickly while maintaining our strong environmental standards.

At 101, Robert ‘Boots’ Chouinard has spent a lifetime serving others as a soldier, teacher, and lifeguard. It’s only fitting that we rename Salisbury Beach’s Lifeguard Command Center in his honor. Thank you, Boots, for all the lives you’ve kept safe ❤️

Spun out of @MIT, @CFS_Energy is the perfect example of the pioneering science we want to see more of in our state. Had the chance to tour their Devens facility yesterday with @EEASecretary and @MassEOED. Commercial fusion: the next frontier for energy in Massachusetts⚡️

We’re making it easier for everyone to get around as more Massachusetts residents choose to drive electric. Not only are these vehicles fun to drive, but they are typically less expensive to maintain than their gas- and diesel-powered counterparts.
The recent EVICC Assessment highlighted critical gaps in electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Massachusetts, and now @MassDEP is investing $46 million to close them. It’s a major step toward building a cleaner environment and more vibrant economy for everyone.
