MVP Grant Award
The Town of Concord is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program. This funding will support the "MVP Planning 2.0" process, a two-year initiative designed to equitably update the Town’s climate resilience priorities.
“This grant comes at the perfect time for Concord as we begin updating our five-year Climate Action and Resilience Plan,” said Brad Dye, Chair of the Climate Action Committee. “By grounding our work in the priorities of our residents, we ensure that our adaptation plans protect those most vulnerable to the climate emergency.”
The $100,000 award is divided into two key phases:
• $50,000 for Planning & Engagement: Developing a community-led team and updating climate data.
• $50,000 for a "Seed Project": A targeted, 9-to-10-month initiative designed to immediately jump-start a community-identified resilience priority.
