Amesbury Receives $1.25 million for Downtown Improvements

The Newburyport Current recently reported that the City of Amesbury will receive economic redevelopment funds of $.1.25 million in order to improve the Lower Millyard and downtown. The funds are being granted under a supplemental budget written by Governor Patrick this year.

The funds will be given through MassWorks, a “one-stop program for municipalities seeking infrastructure funding to support job growth and long-term, sustainable economic development. “

The money will go towards several projects including; drainage improvements, sidewalk and streetscape updates, and light installation.  “Upon completion, pedestrians will be able to walk from the downtown to the new MVRTA Transportation Center and Senior Center.”
