Chapter 90 Funding for FY2021

Working with the Senate and the Governor, we passed H4803 providing infrastructure funding for our cities and towns. This vital infrastructure bill will allow our municipalities to maintain and upgrade bridges, roads, and tunnels. House members updated the Chapter 90 funding formula to provide $200M in total funding throughout the Commonwealth, which translates to direct funding of $473,284 for Stoneham and $517,819 for Winchester. Residents will be able to see the results in roadwork, bridge repairs and replacements, as well as drainage improvements to address and further prevent flooding. Chapter 90 funding is a key piece of any municipal budget and this legislation ensures that Stoneham and Winchester can continue to focus on essential infrastructure upgrades and repairs even during these uncertain times. 

I remain in close contact with our town officials and have communicated our unique needs and challenges to my colleagues.  This has placed our communities in good position to receive the funding necessary to maintain and modernize our well-worn streets and infrastructure systems.
