The Framingham Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) is a state-established, quasi-public nonprofit designed to move with the agility of a private developer while serving the long-term prosperity of the City.
By orchestrating corporate partnerships and state-level financing, we de-risk complex projects and catalyze the industrial sectors that define the future of the MetroWest economy.

How We Support Success
Providing the structural support and strategic direction necessary to scale Framingham's economy.
We actively court and recruit companies that align with Framingham’s existing zoning strengths and infrastructure, ensuring a diversified and high-value tax base for the city.
From TIF agreements to state infrastructure grants, we assemble complex capital stacks that make large-scale commercial and industrial investment viable.
We act as a singular point of contact to help businesses navigate municipal permitting, zoning board appeals, and environmental compliance, reducing time-to-market.
The FEDC has the unique authority to acquire, manage, and dispose of real estate assets to facilitate master-planned developments that benefit the entire community.
