The purpose of this chartbook, and MTF’s follow-up research, is to contextualize the potential impacts of federal action on Massachusetts. 

In this introduction, we provide a rubric for how to think about those federal impacts, including the potential forms action could take and the aspects of the Commonwealth’s public sector and economy most likely to be affected. Future publications will assess specific areas of possible impact and will provide updates on actual federal actions. 

This publication is meant to be iterative and will be updated as information changes and as additional impact sections are added.
