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. In contrast to suburban communities, 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.
Brockton continues to be valued and increasingly recognized by everyone as a high quality and affordable place to live, work, or visit because it offers all dimensions of a 21st century city. Our acknowledged quality of life is linked to the character of our neighborhoods and the complete range of services, amenities, and housing choices geared to our residents.
Our prosperity continues to grow with the new businesses and land redevelopment attracted by the benefits of a community offering both urban and neighborhood residential districts that are exceedingly well connected to the region through our transit and roadway access. As a 21st century city, we have built on our historic resources and character, and are becoming a leader in the emerging trend that values innovative use of land, mixing of uses, and provision of services, within attractive, walkable districts.
