What is the Boston Empowerment Zone?

Empowerment Zone photos
 

The Empowerment Zone (EZ) includes 5.8 square miles of some of the City's most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods. Its 57,640 residents, roughly 10% of the City's population, live in Chinatown, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mission Hill, Roxbury, the Seaport District, South Boston, and the South End.

Boston Connects, Inc. is the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization charged with implementing the long-term vision of the Strategic Plan: Providing for Economic Self-Sufficiency for Individuals, Families and Communities. Under the leadership of a 24-member governing board, BCI has been successful in linking some of the City's most needy residents and neighborhoods with new economic opportunity-through job creation, daycare, skills training, alternative education or ESL.

Use the navigation bar on the left to access a wealth of information about what the Zone looks like and how Boston Connects, Inc. operates in the Zone. Contact us if you are interested in some of the services we offer or in the advantages of locating your business in the Zone.
