BOSTON Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker announced more than $17.3 million in grants Wednesday aimed at helping repair failing dams, coastal infrastructure, and levees across the state.
The grants awarded by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs as part of their Dam and Seawall Program will support construction projects in more than two dozen communities.
The Republican said the grants will help toughen critical resilience projects in the face of a changing climate.
“The Commonwealth’s cities and towns are seeing the impacts of climate change every day,” Baker said. “These grants will help municipalities make substantial progress to maintain and repair aging dams and seawalls across Massachusetts.”
