Economic Development
To develop our economy, Somerville local, and small businesses, Mayor Katjana
- Committed more than $5 million in pandemic relief, and we launched new efforts to market our businesses and skill-building supports
- Expanded job training for all ages, including launching “Let’s Get Workin’: a partnership between DPW and the High School’s Center for Career and Technical Education to offer paid, hands-on job training in professions like HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry.
- Established fiscal controls and reforms that achieved Somerville’s first triple A bond rating from Standard and Poor, which lowers our cost of borrowing. And we’ve maintained that high rating for three years running
