The Healey-Driscoll administration on March 17 announced $4 million in information technology grants to support projects that enhance cybersecurity and implement new digital tools that increase municipal efficiency.
The grants are administered through the Community Compact grant program.
The fiscal 2026 cycle marks the first time that accessibility projects were prioritized for information technology grant funding as a way to support compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Digital Accessibility Rule.
Technology Services and Security Secretary Jason Snyder said prioritizing accessibility helps municipalities “build digital platforms that better serve all residents while improving efficiency and protecting critical local systems.”
Funding amounts of between $5,000 and $140,000 were awarded to 67 municipalities. The full list of awards is available on the Community Compact website.
The IT grant program has provided 602 grants totaling $38.1 million to support 315 municipal and school district projects since fiscal 2016.
