The Healey-Driscoll Administration is pursuing grant funding available to Massachusetts through federal legislation. To do so, the Commonwealth developed a multifaceted strategy outlined in this brief.

Long-term commitments of substantial funding are required to address the state’s deferred maintenance backlog. Additional pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) funding, as proposed, would accelerate the state’s ability to make these critical investments and reduce the long-term need for debt issuance to support state assets.
