An Order to authorize the Mayor to accept and expend an FY25 Community One Stop for Growth MassWorks Infrastructure Program grant in the amount of $500,000 from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Economic Development to support the Clark’s Road project.

This ordinance authorizes Amesbury to accept and spend a $500,000 MassWorks Infrastructure Program grant for pre-construction work on Clark’s Road. The funds will support design, engineering, permitting, and related activities to prepare the corridor for future redevelopment in the Smart Growth Overlay and MBTA Multifamily Overlay districts. The grant requires no local match and the final construction will be funded through a future source. The work will include a full survey, water main sizing, sidewalks and ADA ramps, stormwater, and traffic calming along 0.5 miles of Clark’s Road and its intersection with Main Street.
