Central Massachusetts communities have received a combined $1.3 million in grant funding through the state’s Shared Winter Streets and Spaces program, MassDOT announced on Tuesday.
The funding is spread across six towns, including Grafton, Hudson, Leicester, Paxton, Southborough and Southbridge.
The Shared Winter Streets and Spaces program was launched on Nov. 10, according to a press release from MassDOT, and is designed to provide technical and funding support for cities and towns looking to implement tactical changes to curbs, streets, and parking areas in support of public health, safe mobility, and renewed commerce, with a special focus on the particular challenges of winter.
