    A Framework for Action: The State Regional Economic Development Strategy Partnership January 28, 2009 Reform Results Executive Office of Housing & Economic Development COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Deval Patrick Tim Murray Daniel O'Connell Governor Lt. Governor Secretary Introduction Acknowledgements The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) was tasked by the Governor with development of A Framework for Action. The preparation of the report was led by Eric Nakajima, Senior Policy Advisor at EOHED, under the direction of Secretary Daniel O’Connell and Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning Stan McGee. The project team included Project Manager Robb Smith and Policy Analysts Jeff Fugate, Bruce McAmis, and Sheila Kamunyori. In EOHED, Diana Salemy, Ted Carr and Susan Saia were particularly helpful in support of this project. The University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute provided maps and data for the project. The project team would like to particularly acknowledge UMass Donahue Institute staff Michael Goodman, John Gaviglio, Rebecca Loveland, Katera Como, Raija Vaisanen, William Proulx, and Kate Modzelewski. A Framework for Action could not have been developed without the support and expertise of the John Adams Innovation Institute of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. A financial investment by the John Adams Innovation Institute supported the project; Secretary Daniel O’Connell would like to particularly thank Pat Larkin for his enthusiasm and good counsel. In addition, EOHED thanks Bob Kispert, Bill Ennen and Carlos Martinez-Vela. A Framework for Action is the product of an extensive review of plans and analyses prepared by public agencies and academic and private institutes along with interviews and meetings with municipal officials and staff, regional planning agencies, economic development experts, and business and academic leaders from throughout Massachusetts.

  • The Ohio River in an American Borderland, 1800-1850
    ABSTRACT ONE RIVER, ONE NATION: THE OHIO RIVER IN AN AMERICAN BORDERLAND, 1800-1850 by Zachary Morgan Bennett This thesis examines regional identity on the Ohio River, particularly in Cincinnati and Louisville, during the antebellum period. Connected by one of the most important transportation networks in the United States, cities along the Ohio River transcended the laws and cultural practices of their respective states to form a coherent “Western” regional identity. This thesis challenges the myth that people saw the Ohio River primarily as a border between slave and free states. Traffic along the Ohio River made the economic and social institutions of the towns on either bank similar, blurring the distinctions between slavery and free labor in the process. This riverine community saw themselves as Westerners more than members of the North or South. Experiences in this corner of the United States demonstrate that Americans, regardless of their state affiliation, were more than willing to profit from slavery if given the opportunity.

  • Urban River Swimming: Six American Initiatives
    CHARLES RIVER CONSERVANCY SWIM PARK PROJECT Urban River Swimming: Six American Initiatives Gürcan | Marzan | Mittleman | Situ Executive Summary or centuries, cities have looked to their rivers as means of transportation, sourc- es of power, and wellsprings of commerce. During the Industrial Revolution, Fcities across the globe sought to harness the power of their urban rivers to fuel budding industrial operations and to generate rapid economic growth; but this growth came at a steep price. Severe pollution and freshwater contamination became the trade- marks of industry, and many rivers throughout the United States and abroad became so polluted that they were considered public health hazards. Recent urban planning movements in cities around the world have sought to reclaim these once polluted rivers. In Boston, the once severely polluted Charles River is now clean after decades of restoration work, and the Charles River Conservancy is leading the effort to help citizens reengage with the river through the establishment of a riverfront swim park. In January 2017, the Charles River Conservancy contracted a team of graduate students from Tufts University’s Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning program to con- duct a comparative analysis of river swimming efforts taking shape across the country. The goal of this analysis was to inform the design and programming of the Conservancy’s planned riverfront Swim Park at North Point Park in Cambridge. Through web-based re- search and key-informant interviews, this research aims to explore the diverse approaches and challenges faced by six US cities that are attempting to establish river swimming proj- ects. By conducting a comparative analysis of these efforts, this report highlights national best practices and provides recommendations specifc to the Charles River Conservancy’s Swim Park Project.
