COURTESY OF THE TOWN OF IPSWICH
The town of Ipswich recently announced it has received a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to help create a year-round outdoor dining and gathering space that will help support downtown businesses.
The $157,850 grant will fund continuation of the Take-Out Terrace program, which seeks to create a permanent, welcoming space along the nationally-designated Essex Coastal Scenic Byway and the Ipswich River.
Plans include crosswalk improvements and additional lighting for safety; bike racks to encourage non-motorized mobility; and way-finding and signage to support downtown commerce.
“Thank you to the state Department of Transportation for helping us help our downtown businesses,” Town Manager Anthony Marino said. “This project will give a great look and feel to the community.”

The Massachusetts congressional delegation is urging members of Congress to pass legislation that extends Essex County’s designation as one of 55 national heritage areas across the United States.
The Essex National Heritage Area (Essex Heritage) stands to lose roughly $628,000 in matching federal dollars annually if Congress fails to act before Sept. 30 arrives.
In front of the Salem Custom House on Thursday afternoon, Sen. Edward Markey – flanked by Rep. Seth Moulton, Mayor Kim Driscoll, and state Rep. Paul Tucker – announced he and Sen. Elizabeth Warren filed a Senate bill seeking the Essex National Heritage Area’s re-authorization.
