FY2026 Community One Stop for Growth Grant

Boston – Representative David P. Linsky (D-Natick) announced that the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) awarded the Town of Natick $500,000 under the FY2026 Community One Stop for Growth Program. Natick’s successful application to the One Stop program signifies the Town’s commitment to continued improvement in local infrastructure and resources.

The FY2026 Community One Stop for Growth program, consisting of 13 different grant programs that fund economic development projects, allocates funding to applicants for planning, zoning, construction, and infrastructure related local projects. This funding will be used to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and streetscape design along the Main Street corridor in Natick Center. These design improvements will seek to enhance multimodal access to the Natick Center MBTA Station, the Cochituate Rail Trail, the Town’s MBTA Communities district, and the Natick Center Cultural District, while also providing community development opportunities.

“I was pleased to see Natick receive this award, as this funding will be crucial to the planned infrastructure improvements to Natick Center and Natick as a whole,” said Representative Linsky. “I am thankful to the Executive Office of Economic Development for facilitating and delivering this funding, and I look forward to seeing the impact of this award in Natick’s bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.”
