FRAMINGHAM - Projects within Framingham to withstand the impacts of climate change are set to benefit from just over $2.2 million passed down by the state government.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey recently released the funding through the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Program, an initiative created back in 2017 that aims to provide communities across the Commonwealth with resources to prepare and mitigate climate change. The current MVP funding round announced by Healey provides $31.5 million to over 100 projects statewide.

Framingham is slated to get close to $2 million for flood mitigation work within the Walnut Street neighborhood. An additional $215,000 grant will benefit Framingham, along with Ashland and Sherborn, to protect an open space cluster from climate impacts within the MetroWest region.
