Project Name: North Adams City Center Shared Infrastructure Improvement Request Amount: US$5,369,000 Intended Recipient and Address: North Adams City, 10 Main Street, North Adams, MA 01247 Location: North Adams, MA Project Objective: The funds will be funded by North Adams The city’s downtown shared infrastructure improvement projects. The city’s downtown was once a vibrant business district, composed of many intersecting roads, forming a multi-story, mixed-use building, which was transformed from urban renewal in the mid-century. Small businesses and residential buildings were demolished, roads were demolished, and single-story buildings with shopping malls and large outdoor parking lots were replaced. The changes made to the built environment have reduced the walkability and livability of the city center. As a result, many historical buildings have been partially or completely vacant for decades, and the commercial turnover in the city center is still high. In order to cope with the large number of vacancies and frequent turnover, the Vision 2030 plan proposes to improve the walkability and livability of the city center by strengthening the multi-mode connection between the downtown facilities such as MASS MoCA, Main Street and Eagle Street to improve circulation. Increase capital investment and attract new residents and tourists to the city center. The urban shared use infrastructure improvement project will achieve this goal by using bicycle lanes and creative streetscape design to transform the car-centric downtown into a more pedestrian and bicycle-oriented area.

Project Name: North Shore Mobility Investment Amount: US$2,300,000 Intended Beneficiary and Address: Salem, 93 Washington Street, Salem, MA Location: Beverly, Lynn, Danvers and Peabody, MA Project purpose: This fund will support expansion Salem Skipper is an on-demand public transportation service in Salem, Massachusetts, with access to neighboring communities Beverly, Lynn, Danvers, and Peabody, creating a convenient, flexible, and cost-effective transportation system on the North Shore. Currently, Skipper serves more than 700 riders in Salem every week. By expanding the service to new communities, they expect to provide more than 2,000 rides a week, facilitating cross-community travel that currently cannot be provided by public transportation. Although transportation options in Boston are ubiquitous, residents of the North Shore currently have few public transportation or active transportation options when commuting within their own communities or across the North Shore community. Compared to reverse commuting travel or commuting travel in the North Shore area, Transit brings more work travel to the heart of Boston. Therefore, the existing transportation network is more suitable for commuting in and out of Boston, rather than satisfying more localized and east/west work travel. To expand access to work, health care, groceries and other social services, North Shore communities need to invest in improved transportation options.

The property was recently a textile manufacturing base, close to Norton Commercial Center and Miles Standish Industrial Park. MMSFI proposes to establish and develop the Patriot Farm program to benefit local veterans and surrounding communities. Patriot Farm is an innovative response to established needs, and will focus on training, career development, employment and housing for veterans and their families. Patriot Farm will attract homeless and at-risk veterans through transitional and permanent housing options, employment and personal development opportunities. It will become a storage, processing and distribution center for non-profit organizations serving veterans and other high-risk groups.

Project Name: Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah Affordable Housing Application Amount: US$1,800,000 Intended Recipient and Address: Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah, 20 Black Brook Road, Aquinnah, MA 02535 Location: Wampanoag Project Gay Head Aquinnah Tribe Purpose: The funding was used by the Wampanoag tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah to build two affordable houses. The tribe members were forced to leave Martha’s Vineyard due to the lack of available rental houses, astronomical land costs, construction costs, or the purchase or lease costs of any available existing houses. This housing crisis has severely affected the ability of tribal members to live or work here. Over the years, housing and construction costs have risen steadily, and there has been a significant gap in income levels. Due to the fact that the average income calculation is based on the entire population of the island rather than specific to tribal members, income tables are often biased. Since most permanent residents must have more than one job in order to be able to afford housing, they are usually considered to be overpaid. However, the incomes of many multi-season residents or super wealthy year-round residents overstate the average cost of buying or renting a property. Therefore, even though many jobs are just to make ends meet, the income of tribe members and others exceeds the income of subsidized housing. In addition, since the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more wealthy people have moved to the island and bought houses, built houses, or offered to pay two to three times the already inflated rent, causing tribal members to move out of their rents disproportionately. Coming houses. Without affordable housing, the tribe cannot hire managers or professionals to work for the tribal government to supervise or manage the key and necessary programs and services we provide to tribal members. By providing additional housing, tribes can provide tribal members with affordable housing and attract high-quality personnel to help manage their programs and services.

Project Name: Bridgewater-High Street Dam Demolition and Bridge Replacement Request Amount: USD 5,000,000 Intended Recipient and Address: Bridgewater Town, 66 Center Square, Bridgewater, Massachusetts, 02324 Location: Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Purpose of the project: This funding will support the removal of the High Street Dam in Bridgewater and the replacement of the High Street Bridge over the River in Bridgewater.
