MILFORD, MA — Milford is set to receive new state funding aimed at improving public spaces and transportation infrastructure.
The town was awarded $150,000 through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's Shared Streets and Spaces Grant Program, state Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex) announced Friday. The funding is intended to support public health, mobility and local commerce through improved public infrastructure.
MassDOT's Shared Streets and Spaces program funds improvements to plazas, sidewalks, curbs, streets, bus stops and parking areas. Eligible projects can include pedestrian and bicycle upgrades, outdoor programming and transit-related improvements.
"Thank you to MassDOT for supporting our towns and cities with this combined grant application program," Rausch said in the Friday announcement.
Rausch also announced more than $1.5 million in Community Culvert Grant awards for Dover, Medfield and Wrentham. MassDOT says that program supports the repair, replacement, removal and modernization of municipally owned culverts to improve transportation reliability and climate resilience.
