December 16, 2022 — The Baker-Polito Administration has announced over $11 million in Seaport Economic Council grants for 24 projects, including in New Bedford, Fall River, Fairhaven, Dartmouth and Marion.
The grants will help 20 coastal communities advance projects that benefit commercial maritime industries, improve resident and visitor access to waterfront assets, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and advance future dredging. The grants were approved at Tuesday’s meeting of the Seaport Economic Council, chaired by Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito at Plymouth Town Hall, according to a press release.
