The Healey-Driscoll administration on Sept. 4 announced nearly $11 million in grant funding to support the repair or removal of aging dams, levees and coastal infrastructure.
The funding for the grants is provided through the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Dam and Seawall Repair or Removal Program. Recipients received funding for design and permitting as well as construction projects. Repairing aging infrastructure along waterways and the coast improves public safety and restores existing ecological systems.
Grants ranging from $41,000 to $1.4 million were awarded to Blackstone Watershed Collaborative, Brockton, Charlton, Connecticut River Conservancy, Dudley, East Quabbin Land Trust, Fitchburg, Grafton, Holliston, Holyoke, Hopkinton, Leominster, Massachusetts Audubon Society, Methuen, Middleborough, OARS Inc., Natick, Raynham, Salem, Shutesbury, Swansea, Wayland, and the Trustees of Reservations.
