The MMA will host a webinar on Nov. 6 about grant programs for municipalities through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
MassDOT is launching two new grants this fall: the Community Culvert and Unpaved Roads grant programs.
The Community Culvert Grant Program will provide funding via reimbursements to municipalities for culvert and small bridge modernization, reconstruction, removal, repair, replacement and resilience improvements.
Grants of up to $1 million may be awarded to municipalities through the Unpaved Roads Grant Program to support the maintenance, repair and improvement of locally owned dirt and gravel roads.
Kristen Rebelo, community grants administrator at MassDOT, will share information about program guidelines, important dates, and applications for these programs.
She will also review other programs found on Grant Central, a central hub for municipalities to access information and applications for their programs.
Lily Wallace, regional transportation planner in MassDOT’s Office of Municipal Planning and Support, will discuss the Local Early and Actionable Planning program. LEAP grants are awarded to provide planning and early-stage design assistance to underserved municipalities.
Online registration is available for the 75-minute webinar, which will begin at noon. Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
