$1.5M State Grant To Boost Natick Labs
The Patrick administration has announced a $1.5-million grant for infrastructure improvements and enhanced traffic flow in and around the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, also known as Natick Labs.
The grant, announced by Lt. Gov. Timothy J. Murray, follows a $1-million capital expenditure for the town of Natick. The new funding will upgrade infrastructure at the center and improve traffic flow along nearby Route 27 to allow it to better handle current and future traffic volumes.
The award is part of a task force on military asset and security strategy that Murray led.
The center employs 1,800 civilian and military personnel.
"Natick Soldier Systems Center has experienced significant growth over the years," said John P. Obusek, the center's senior manager. "With that growth have come understandable increases in vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic … to and from our gates."
