MassDevelopment Announces Funding Through Real Estate Technical Assistance Program
MassDevelopment announced the availability of funding through its Real Estate Technical Assistance Program to help communities address site-specific and district-wide economic-development challenges. Under this program, through a combination of in-house expertise and contracts with consultants, MassDevelopment works with municipal officials, planners, local stakeholders, and others to address priority planning and development projects through creative solutions and clear, implementable action steps. Awards will range from approximately $5,000 to $50,000 and can support public surplus property reuse, including feasibility analyses and RFP/Q development, and the implementation of local district-management tools such as Business Improvement Districts and District Improvement Financing.
