The Healey-Driscoll administration on June 10 announced $7.7 million in Municipal Fiber grants to cities and towns across Massachusetts to enable construction or completion of municipal fiber networks that support IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and records management.
The Municipal Fiber grant program connects municipal facilities and helps communities achieve network goals such as enhanced cybersecurity and ease of access to local government services online. A cohesive municipal network also creates opportunities for savings by aggregating internet bandwidth purchases and associated security infrastructure.
The fiscal 2025 grants will support municipal fiber networks in 40 communities. The full list of awards is available on the Municipal Fiber Grant Program website.
The Community Compact Cabinet has awarded more than $33 million in Municipal Fiber grants since fiscal 2022. The program awards grant amounts up to $250,000, or $500,000 if multijurisdictional.
The Municipal Fiber grants are among four annual Community Compact funding opportunities offered to municipalities.
