Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Karyn Polito, joined Hingham’s Town Manager, Thomas Mayo, and other state and local officials yesterday to announce $3.6 million in Massachusetts Dredging Program grants to four communities, including a $2 million award for work on Hingham’s Inner Harbor.
Lt. Governor Polito also announced awards for Beverly, Chatham and Dennis through the first-ever grant round of the Massachusetts Dredging Program, which is part of a targeted effort to bolster the Commonwealth’s 78 coastal communities.
Last week, Polito kicked off 2019 Grant Round announcements at an event in Nantucket, one of the five awardees from the $4.1 million 2019 Grant Round.
