Massachusetts
Worcester will receive $1 million of BEDI funds and $2.45
million in Section 108 loan funds to assist in the redevelopment
of a brownfield site on the 30 acre Gardner-Kilby-Hammond Street
Neighborhood Revitalization Project. The project includes the construction
of a new Worcester Boy's and Girl's Club facility, the Clark University
athletic complex and 80 units of affordable rental and homeownership
housing. The Gardner-Kilby-Hammond project is expected to create
300 new jobs for the community. The City will use the BEDI grant
and the Section 108 loan for site preparation and environmental
remediation. The City expects this project to generate an additional
$3 million in other private investment. Total project costs are
estimated at $32 million.
