The Revitalist

WBUR has been running a week-long series on immigration in Massachusetts and how immigrants have helped to build and shape our economy over the years. While the state may be losing population in certain demographic segments, it's immigrant population is growing – now at a 50 year high. For developers, the immigrant population is more than workforce, they are consumers of our product: tenants in our buildings, buyers of our condos, business owners looking for commercial space. In Lawrence, we have gotten to know the Central and South American immigrant groups that make the city so colorful, and in Lowell, we have learned about and worked with the Cambodian community there.
