BOSTON – The Baker administration has announced $2 million in technology grants will be awarded to 45 cities and towns across the Commonwealth, including Wareham.
Through the program, Wareham received funding to implement an e-permitting system allowing the town to track the 12,000 permits and licenses it issues annually, make up-to-the-minute status updates, and allow for coordinated review and sign-off by multiple departments, reducing wait times for residents and businesses.
“We are proud of the work the Community Compact Cabinet is doing to strengthen critical partnerships with the Commonwealth’s cities and towns,” said Baker.
“As the use of technology continues to expand in our everyday lives, these grants provide an opportunity to deliver better service at the municipal level to our residents.”
The grants fund technology improvements to help drive innovation and transformation, and enhance service at the local level.
