May 20, 2019 Old Buildings, New Businesses
To HBI, a preserved building has the potential to be the launch pad for a new business where there was once an abandoned or underutilized historic building. Or it might become a place where a family can build a home. When a historic building is revitalized, it contributes positively to the neighborhood almost immediately.
HBI’s mission to find sustainable uses for historic buildings connects us with Boston residents and entrepreneurs who have small businesses in all realms, from food service to health and wellness. In 2019, we welcome new tenants who work to grow their businesses in neighborhoods around Boston:
