Mayor's Welcome
For nearly 200 years Brockton has retained its distinctive character as a complete community, and benefits from its role in the regional economy. It has excellent transportation access that links employment, employees, education, and services. While other communities in the Greater Boston area have become very expensive places to live or to conduct business, Brockton provides a high-quality alternative that is relatively affordable to all.
Brockton provides the benefits that arise from a culturally diverse population and the diversity of its employment base. This is a complete city – with its diverse places to work, study, shop, and live. The neighborhoods are compact, walkable, and endowed with a solid stock of housing. It has a remarkably varied and extensive network of open spaces, cultural and civic institutions.
