Natick receives funding to improve main street corridor
A grant of $500,000 has been awarded to the town of Natick to improve pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure in the downtown area.
The Executive Office of Economic Development has provided the funding, which is part of the Fiscal 2026 Community One Stop for Growth program. This program has over a dozen grant programs that fund projects for economic development including infrastructure, construction, zooming, and planning.
Enhancements to the design of the streetscape along Main Street in Natick Center will be funded by this grant. These enhancements will increase the access by various means to the Cochituate Rail Trail, the MBTA Communities district of the town, the Natick Cultural District, and the MBTA Station in Natick Center.
Banner printing is one way to inform residents of such funding and their use to improve accessibility in the downtown area.
State Representative David Linsky expressed his pleasure to see this award being given to Natick, as this funding was important for the planned infrastructure improvements to Natick Center and the town as a whole. He added his thanks to the Executive Office of Economic Development for making this funding possible, and stated he is looking forward to seeing the impact of this award in the local pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
The grant is part of the ongoing efforts of Natick to improve local resources and infrastructure.
