The City of Cambridge has proudly been involved in a number of exciting and recent housing-related milestones that have long been in the works.

The Community Development Department's Housing Division addresses the housing needs of low, moderate, and middle-income residents through initiatives that offer affordable housing, especially for families with children.

In 2011, the City of Cambridge Community Development Department began a study to explore ways to improve the character of Mass Avenue from Cambridge Commons to Porter Square.

This report examines the feasibility of the City of Cambridge implementing a municipal fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) service and finds that for the City to construct an FTTP network and establish a financially sustainable business—meaning one that covers its costs and generates a reasonable rate of return over a long period—a significant public contribution would be required. In a base-case scenario that applies conservative construction cost assumptions and reasonable revenue projections, the network could require an upfront public capital contribution of $150 million.

All cannabis businesses, including Marijuana Treatment Centers (MTC), as defined in the Cannabis Business Permit Ordinance, require a Cannabis Business Permit from Cambridge Inspectional Services Department (ISD) before opening. This city permit is different from the state Marijuana License application that is managed by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (MA CCC). Before the MA CCC issues a final Marijuana License, they will request a copy of your Cannabis Business Permit.

A grant from the Massachusetts Broadband Institute brought 300 new Chromebooks and 60 laptops to the Cambridge Community Learning Center, giving every classroom a device for every student.
