FY25 REDO Grant Program Announcement
The Healey-Driscoll Administration is pleased to announce the opening of the FY25 round of the REDO Grant Program. The Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) in consultation with the Massachusetts Office of Business Development (MOBD) will provide capacity building grants to REDOs that facilitate regional projects that grow businesses and support the Massachusetts economy. Their successes attract new employers and foster existing businesses.

Applicants should include ways their organization improves equity, affordability, and competitiveness in their regions.
