The bill adds new subsections to establish criteria for municipal project funding and matching contributions from the Commonwealth.

  • Section 4 of chapter 6C

    (c) All expenditures for maintaining, repairing, improving, and constructing municipal ways and bridges, and other eligible municipal projects, made by the department in accordance with subsection (b), shall be allocated by the commissioner to each municipality based upon the following factors- (i) The cost of resurfacing two percent of all municipally owned, but not state numbered, roads within said municipality; (ii) The cost of resurfacing three and three-tenths percent of all municipally owned and maintained state numbered routes within said municipality.

    This establishes specific criteria for how funds are allocated to municipalities for road and bridge projects.

  • Section 4 of chapter 6C

    (d) The match factor of the Municipal Match Program set forth in Chapter 90 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2020 Official Edition, for the purpose of maintaining, repairing, improving, and constructing municipal ways and bridges, and other eligible municipal projects, shall be determined by using the measure of aggregate property values and aggregate personal income within each municipality, with each measure to be given equal weight.

    This defines how the match factor for municipal projects is to be calculated.

  • Section 4 of chapter 6C

    (e) The maximum allowable match by the Commonwealth shall be two hundred percent of the allocation put forth by a municipality, not to exceed said sum of local apportionment. The minimum allowable match shall be twelve and a half percent of the allocation set forth by a municipality, not to exceed said sum of local apportionment.

    This establishes the maximum and minimum matching contributions from the Commonwealth to municipalities.
