FUNDS TO HELP KEEP THE STATE MOVING FORWARD

To close out the year the House and Senate sent to Governor Baker a comprehensive bill which contains important funds to provide direct assistance to our cities and towns for essential roadway repairs and projects. Communities in our area will receive addition funding for road projects in an allocation known (by the chapter of state law) as Chapter 90 Funds.

State approved funds from this account are allocated using a longstanding formula based on community road miles, population, and employment. These dollars are put to use by your community to maintain public safety, repair local roads and bridges, and keep the economy of the Commonwealth strong.
