The MA Federal Funds & Infrastructure Office (FFIO) has opened the MTTA grant program to all Massachusetts local governments and federally recognized tribes, as well as regional organizations whose membership is exclusively composed of municipal governments, community development corporations, and other development authorities or agencies. This funding can be used to engage assistance from consultants, including BRPC, to pursue your community’s priorities.
To qualify for funding under this program, applicants must demonstrate:
- A clear need for technical assistance that advances or supports projects that include but are not limited to infrastructure, climate, housing, and economic development projects.
- That technical assistance advances or supports projects for which applicants are either in the process of seeking federal funding or have received federal dollars.
This discretionary grant program will prioritize requests from rural communities, Gateway Cities, as well as localities with financial and capacity needs in similar underserved communities.
Learn more on the FFIO landing page for MTTA.
