As a public-private non-profit charged with the 495/MetroWest regional economy,
the 495/MetroWest Partnership is proud of the success of our regional employer survey with
Framingham State University and we welcome our new media partner, The MetroWest Daily
News. The results of our 5th Annual Survey are in and we have no doubt that the information will
continue to provide regional leaders and policymakers with hard data on the business conditions
facing our employers as well as top concerns for the year ahead.
Special thanks to Dr. Michael Harrison of Framingham State University for his Summary and Presentation on the Results:
