Money for Milford Projects Back in the State Budget

MILFORD, MA—This week, lawmakers passed several budget overrides that reinstates funding for several projects in Milford. The overrides come on the heels of the line items previously being vetoed out of the state budget, according to an announcement from Sen. Ryan Fattman.

“Despite the long hours this week, it is satisfying to see towns in the district receive such significant funding”, said Sen. Fattman, R-Webster. “These funds will help boost and restore some local historical sites, and will help ramp up economic development in the area”.

The overridden items help to fund infrastructure, growth and improvements to the town, and the line items will continue to move through the funding process and eventually be dispersed.

The projects include $50,000 dollars for programs and services at the Milford Youth Center, $75,000 for a transportation grant, $50,000 be granted to improving the historic Fino Field, and $84,000 for the Milford Police Department and the Juvenile Advocacy Group to maintain a regional substance abuse outreach program and intervention program in the greater Milford area.
