Wicked Local
Acton has received a $60,000 grant from the state Department of Housing and Community Development to address pandemic-related challenges among businesses in the Great Road Commercial Corridor.
According to a release, the town applied for the grant, through the Local Rapid Recovery Planning Program, in December. The goal is to develop a tailored Local Rapid Recovery Plan addressing Acton’s unique challenges. Recovery Plans can include a range of projects, such as infrastructure improvements, marketing and promotion, bike/pedestrian improvements, and façade and/or storefront signage enhancements. This is another example of how we are working tirelessly to support our businesses in Acton, Town Manager John Mangiaratti said. I look forward with working with Land Use Economic Development Director Matthew Selby, Planning Director Kristen Guichard and the Economic Development Committee and other stakeholders on this new initiative.
