Emerald Cities Collaborative Boston Contractor Academy Market Assessment
The Emerald Cities Collaborative Boston Contractor Academy Market Assessment report provides the findings of a market study assessment performed by MAPC Economic Development Division. The Economic Development Division amassed quantitative and qualitative analyses into a market assessment it performed on behalf of the Clean Energy Department and MAPC’s partner Emerald Cities Collaborative (ECC.) The partners examined the level of market demand for weatherization and energy efficiency retrofit services delivery, with particular attention to the residential market, including properties eligible for the Massachusetts LEAN weatherization assistance program. Research included demographic, housing, industry sector, and market potential. This study also incorporates the input of contractors, especially those usually underrepresented in the field such as BIPOC- and women-owned contractors, as well as Community Action Agencies, housing developers, and partner organizations. One part analyzes trends in the labor market pertinent to this work, and the other part explores the potential target service markets in the Greater Boston region.
