(Massachusetts).- Following approval during a series of public meetings, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) announced that over $18 million in Community Mitigation Fund grants have been awarded to various municipalities and other eligible entities across Massachusetts.
Since its inception in 2015, the MGC has awarded approximately $56.7 million in grants from the Community Mitigation Fund. Established by the gaming law, this fund assists host and surrounding communities, along with other qualified applicants, in offsetting costs related to casino construction and operation. Grant awards support a broad spectrum of community needs including education, transportation, infrastructure, housing, environmental issues, public safety, and emergency services.
“The Community Mitigation Fund is an important and impactful program aimed at maximizing the benefits of legalized gambling while mitigating any unintended impacts associated with the operation of the Commonwealth’s casinos,” said MGC Interim Chair Jordan Maynard.
“This program is a direct investment in our communities, prioritizing projects that enhance local infrastructure, public safety, and harm reduction. The 2024 grant recipients represent innovative and tangible initiatives, which upon implementation will have a positive impact on communities and residents across the state."
The Community Mitigation Fund review team conducted a thorough evaluation of all applications to ensure compliance with the FY 2025 Guidelines, making recommendations to the Commission during several public meetings throughout the spring of 2024.
