REPRESENTATIVE ANNOUNCES FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION – BOXFORD

Boston, MA – State Representative Barbara A. L’Italien (D-Andover) announced today that the Transportation Bond Bill will include $444,000 in funding for projects in the Town of Boxford.

The transportation bond bill provides capital funding for the design, construction, and repair of roadway projects in the Commonwealth that do not receive federal funding. The legislation, engrossed by the House today, provides $144,000 for the repair of the Parker River culvert on Route 133 and $300,000 to resurface Route 97.

“The approval of these projects will mean a great deal to the people of Boxford,” said Representative L’Italien. “Each of these undertakings will improve transportation and address the concerns voiced by residents.”

In addition to these crucial initiatives, the House version of the transportation bond bill also includes funding for regional transit authorities, Chapter 90 highway projects, and assistance for the protection of rail freight properties across the state. The bond bill now moves to the Senate and upon approval will go to the Governor’s desk for signature.
