Worcester Accepting Applications For Community Development Block Grants

WORCESTER, MA — The city is accepting applications for its Community Development Block Grant Public Facilities Projects.

CDBG projects are for community organizations and spaces that serve low- and moderate-income residents, according to the city. The funding, which ranges from $10,000 to $110,000, is for eligible projects that include public safety and American Disability Act improvements, interior rehabilitation, energy efficiency improvements, among other things.

The projects should be community-focused and ready to be completed within one to two years.

To learn more about the application process, there are two upcoming events: a virtual meeting on Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m. and an in-person meeting on Dec. 16 at 2:30 p.m. in the Levi Lincoln Room inside City Hall.

You can register for the virtual meeting here.

“These grants are a great way for community organizations to make much needed improvements to their facilities,” said City Manager Eric D. Batista. “If your organization or space has been deferring maintenance due to budget restraints, we highly encourage you to learn more about the grants and apply."
