“Winn Development works in hundreds of cities nationwide. We found the experience with the NBEDC to be extremely positive, and that was the reason the project moved forward instead of dozens of other projects in Massachusetts that have been stalled. The leadership of the NBEDC and the City was the deciding factor.”
Gilbert Winn, Managing Principal of Winn Companies

“The NBEDC helped save our business our jobs since we expanded. The NBEDC facilitated the working relationship between Angel Dying and NuTex, a textile manufacturer. I would say we have a great partnership.”
Edmund Angel, Angel Industries

“The HDC and the NBEDC are true economic development partners. Through our collective efforts, we best leverage our resources to promote the city’s assets, create jobs, and foster economic growth. Working hand in hand, we look forward to tapping new market and investment opportunities that promise to move the city forward.”
