Local Aid to Cities and Towns |
|
To help cities and towns pay for police and fire protection, parks, and other core services, the state provides funding through General Local Aid. Since 2001, that funding has fallen by 46%.
A slight increase in funding for Local Aid--the first increase in 5 years.
A new distribution formula which places greater weight on each city or town's ability to raise its own revenue. The new formula only applies to that portion of funding above the FY 2013 level
The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts. |
