Why Massachusetts?

Massachusetts is a state built on innovation, collaboration, and community. From its historic manufacturing hubs to its emerging Gateway Cities, the Commonwealth provides fertile ground for worker ownership to take root and grow. At ICA, we partner with local businesses and communities to preserve jobs, close the wealth gap, and keep businesses locally owned for the long term. By focusing on Gateway Cities—key urban centers that anchor regional economies—we help build resilient local ecosystems where workers and communities share in the prosperity they create.
