Gov. Charlie Baker
HAVERHILL, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has announced his plan to spend nearly $3 billion in federal pandemic-relief funds to support homeownership, economic development, job training, health care and infrastructure with a focus on populations and areas that suffered the most from COVID-19.
Baker said Thursday the spending will help jump-start the post-pandemic economic recovery.
The announcement was made in Haverhill.
The plan devotes $1 billion to funding homeownership and housing priorities, to spur home building and reduce barriers to homeownership.
The plan requires legislative approval.
