The Healey-Driscoll Administration today announced $13 million for park improvements and open space acquisitions across Massachusetts. The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ (EEA) is awarding Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC), Local Acquisitions for Natural Diversity (LAND), and Conservation Partnership grants that will support 40 communities. The three programs will help municipalities and land trusts protect land for future generations by conserving 222 acres of land and improving 18 parks in environmental justice communities.
The Town of Webster is the recipient of a PARC Grant in the amount of $421,209 to renovate May St. Park. We would like to thank everyone again for the show of support at Town Meeting this past fall. Work is expected to begin summer of 2024.
