**Governor Maura Healey Establishes Competitiveness Council to Drive Economic Growth in Massachusetts**
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has signed an Executive Order to establish the Governor’s Advisory Council on Competitiveness, a new initiative aimed at boosting the state’s economic growth and strengthening its business environment.
Dan Kenary, President and Co-founder of Harpoon Brewery, and Mark Nunnelly, Chairman of Toolbox Holdings and Foundation as well as former Managing Director at Bain Capital, have been appointed as co-chairs of the newly formed council.
The Competitiveness Council will provide strategic advice on a broad range of critical issues, including taxation, business incentives, workforce development, innovation support, and regulatory improvements. The council’s mission is to identify opportunities that will enhance Massachusetts’ competitiveness and provide actionable recommendations to support both existing and emerging industries across the state.
“Massachusetts is home to the best businesses, schools, health care system and talent in the world, but we can’t take anything for granted,” said Governor Healey. “I’m creating this Competitiveness Council to bring everyone to the table – business, labor, state and local leaders – to advise me on action we can take to grow Massachusetts’ economic leadership and make us more competitive.”
The formation of the council underscores the administration’s commitment to maintaining and elevating Massachusetts’ standing as a national and global leader in economic innovation and opportunity.
