An Act financing the immediate economic revitalization, community development, and housing needs of the Commonwealth

This bill allocates $987 million to fund immediate economic development, community revitalization, and housing projects across Massachusetts. The legislation primarily authorizes grants for MassWorks, which provides capital to municipalities for infrastructure that supports housing and job creation, while also funding specific initiatives for broadband expansion, manufacturing innovation, and public housing pipelines. Additionally, the bill sets aside $200 million to serve as a state match for federal funding opportunities related to the CHIPS Act and infrastructure development. By ensuring these funds are available, the bill aims to prevent delays in ongoing programs and help the state remain competitive for future federal grants.
