Building Massachusetts: Capital Impact Report

Since taking office, the Healey-Driscoll Administration has made smart, fiscally responsible capital investments that improve affordability, strengthen competitiveness, and create jobs across Massachusetts.

Our capital investments are building homes, creating jobs, improving transportation, and protecting Massachusetts’ natural resources.  

Capital investments support infrastructure in two ways: by directly funding projects and by providing grants for infrastructure improvements that deliver long-term public benefits. Each year, the administration develops a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) to allocate available spending capacity on key priorities, including:  

• Grants to cities and towns to invest in housing, economic development, environmental and climate resilience projects 
• Investments that support key industries such as life sciences, AI and advanced manufacturing, which create jobs and bolster Massachusetts’ competitive edge  
• Maintenance and upgrades to state infrastructure, ranging from parks, roads, bridges, and public transportation to higher education campuses, Veterans Homes, and courthouses 

This report highlights how the Healey-Driscoll administration’s capital investments since 2023 have made Massachusetts stronger.
