The Healey-Driscoll administration on May 12 announced nearly $850,000 in grant awards to support priority dam removal and wetlands restoration projects.
The awards are administered by the Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Ecological Restoration through its Priority Projects Program, which funds projects that increase climate change resilience, improve water quality, reduce flood risks, and restore wildlife habitat.
Upon receiving Priority Project designation, projects may apply for funding opportunities and receive technical support and services from the Division Ecological Resources.
Awards ranged from $11,000 to $240,000 and were distributed to municipalities and nonprofits for projects in Chatham, Chester, Chicopee, Dennis, Mount Washington, Nantucket, Weymouth and Yarmouth.
The list of projects and recipients is available online.
