Back Streets

The Back Streets program helps light industrial and commercial companies grow throughout Boston's neighborhoods.

How we help

Licensing and permitting

The City created a centralized, streamlined licensing and permitting application. We can offer guidance and help you through the review and approval process.

Permits and Licenses

Real estate community

Our team works with Boston’s real estate community. We can give your information about market trends and tenant searches. We also work with the Boston Planning and Development Agency on planning and zoning. Our team can help you find locations for growth.

Finding workers

Rapidly changing industries can have trouble finding trained staff. The Mayor's Office of Workforce Development partners with workforce training organizations.
