The Baker-Polito Administration has announced that Milford and Franklin are among nine projects to receive more than $1.28 million in grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), targeting water pollution from storm water runoff and erosion.
“It is vitally important that we address the effects of polluted storm runoff on Massachusetts waterways to protect both our environment and public health,” said Gov. Charlie Baker. “Through the administration of this grant program, we are able to work with the federal government to provide our local and regional partners the resources needed to improve water quality.”
“To keep our communities healthy, we must help them maintain a clean and safe system of water resources,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “These water protection grants will help local officials identify storm water issues and address them promptly.”
