Brockton CCRH at the Thomas Edison building

Brockton’s first CCRH is being developed inside the historic Thomas Edison Building—a 25,000-sq-ft downtown landmark serving one of Massachusetts’ most diverse Gateway Cities. Led by the Old Colony Planning Council (OCPC), the project integrates HVAC upgrades, solar readiness, battery storage, EV charging, and new community spaces for training, resilience support, and clean-energy education. Early funding is secured through a federal Safe Streets grant, with additional components advancing through planning and design. The hub will create clean-energy jobs, expand local contractor opportunities, and anchor long-term community resilience across Brockton.
