Malden to receive funding for roads and bridges
A bond authorization supported by a delegation from Malden to the State House will provide over $900,000 to the city, paving the way for infrastructure and transportation upgrades in the next fiscal year.
This funding will come from the Chapter 90 program of the state and provides money to cities and towns each year to help with important infrastructure projects, such as bridge and road repairs; traffic control measures; resurfacing of roads and sidewalks; and roadside drainage. The funds can also be used for long-term lease, purchase, and replacement of equipment, building machinery, and tools. Print shops are often hired to create flyers and other materials outlining potential projects that could benefit from such funding and distribute these throughout the community.
A formula is used each year to determine the amount allocated to cites and is based on the weighted average of the total road miles, employment, and population in a community.
Senator Jason Lewis said that it is important to invest in infrastructure even at this time to ensure that the community will be safe and prosper while Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian added that infrastructure work in the community must continue. Representative Paul Donato expressed his confidence that the City of Malden will use the funding from this bond for transportation and infrastructure that are much needed in the city.
