The Devens TAP convened on June 22, 2017, at MassDevelopment’s Devens office, under the direction of the Urban Land Institute’s Boston/New England Chapter Young Leaders Group. Over the course of the day, the TAP, consisting of 10 real estate and marketing professionals, met with local business owners, representatives from some of Devens’ largest tenants, company employees and HR managers, property owners, residents of Devens, and other key stakeholders. The purpose of the TAP was to devise a strategy that would help companies to attract and retain employees by transforming Devens into a more vibrant, 18-hour environment where people could congregate, share ideas and spend time beyond their typical workday.
