Last week, the Baker-Polito administration awarded 39 Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) to 58 communities across Massachusetts. In total, the grants amount to $30.5 million.  

These types of grants are frequently used to assist with development projects in cities and towns, often focusing on low- and moderate-income residents, or on revitalization efforts.

“Flexible block grant funding allows our cities and towns to respond to specific local needs,” said Governor Baker, in a statement regarding the grants. “These investments will support long-term economic growth and positive changes in transportation infrastructure, housing markets, and community spaces.”

“Residents across the Commonwealth will see tangible improvements in their communities through this year’s Community Development Block Grants,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito, in a statement. “These awards will offer support at the local level, allowing municipalities to pursue a bright future for their community.”
