Corporate Transparency Toolkit Available | |
|
Under the Corporate Transparency Act, U.S. small businesses need to file beneficial ownership information reports (BOIR) with the Department of the Treasury by January 1, 2025. Not filing by the deadline puts small business owners at risk of fines and criminal penalties. The law was enacted in 2021 to combat illicit activity, including tax fraud, money laundering, and terrorism financing, by capturing more ownership information for specific U.S. businesses.
Businesses must provide their legal name and trademarks, as well as their current U.S. address. They’ll also need to provide a taxpayer identification number and specify the jurisdiction where they were formed or registered.
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce has created a free step-by-step guide to help complete the reports.

Vision Zero: A Roadmap to Safer Streets | |
|
Over the past 5 years, crashes on our roads have killed or seriously injured over 1,000 people per year.
Transportation safety is an essential focus of the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and one of the major goals identified in the MPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan, Destination 2050. The Vision Zero Action Plan will address the safety-related needs identified in Destination 2050 and serve as a roadmap for the 97 communities in the region to implement projects that meet the goals of Vision Zero.
As the MPO develops the plan, it's important for you and your employees to let your voice be heard. Check out the Vision Zero website for information on crash data in our region and a survey where you can share your thoughts on problem areas and potential solutions.
