The 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission (SECC) was established by the Legislature in 2015 to study challenges to development in communities along I-495.
These challenges include: transportation, water, cellular, energy infrastructure, transit services, residential development, reuse of former industrial facilities and historic mills, brownfields reclamation, downtown redevelopment and other constraints.
SECC then develops policy and recommendations which ensure these communities can participate in state development initiatives and benefit from state resources.
