Healey-Driscoll Administration to Celebrate Community One Stop for Growth Awards in Fitchburg
BOSTON – Wednesday, December 13, the Executive Office of Economic Development and MassDevelopment will celebrate $1 million in awards made through the 2024 Community One Stop for Growth Awards in Fitchburg.
The event will celebrate this year’s Collaborative Workspace Program, a grant program in the One Stop. Administered by MassDevelopment, the Collaborative Workspace Program provides funding to support the development of collaborative workspaces and accelerate the pace of new business formation, job creation, and entrepreneurial activity. Since the program was created in 2014 through FY23, it has supported more than 210 awards for a total investment of more than $11 million.
The Community One Stop for Growth is an annual program overseen by the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) that provides a streamlined process for cities and towns to apply for 13 state grant programs that spur economic and housing development administered by EOED, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, and the quasi-public agency MassDevelopment.
Last month, the Healey-Driscoll Administration announced $164 million for 338 grant awards to support local economic development projects in 161 communities across the state through the FY2024 One Stop program.
