Economic Development Bond Bill Grants Malden Funding for Four Major Projects

BOSTON- Representative Steven Ultrino joined with his colleagues in the Massachusetts House and Senate to pass H.4549, “An Act providing for capital facility repairs and improvements for the Commonwealth”. This Bill will provide funding for four key projects in Malden.

“The money we received in this bill is crucial for funding various important projects in Malden.” Representative Ultrino said. “These projects will help support public safety, develop community engagement, and support our local water infrastructure system. We must now work with the Governor’s Office advocating for the release of these funds over the next fiscal year.”

H.4549, which passed a roll call on June 7th, provides:

·         $1,000,000 to aid the purchase of a ladder truck and other fire equipment in the city of Malden

·         $30,000,000 for costs of modernization of the court facility located in the city of Malden to address envelope, life safety, holding and security, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and cross circulation

·         $500,000 for the acquisition of or prepayment of a lease for a community center in the city of Malden

·         $1,000,000 for the replacement of water service pipes and associated costs in the city of Malden

The bill, which has passed a vote in both the House and Senate, was sent to the Governor’s desk on June 7th for his signature.
