Buzzards Bay Watershed Infrastructure and CCMP Support Grant Program FY2027

The Buzzards Bay Watershed Infrastructure and CCMP Support Grant Program FY2027 is a solicitation by the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management agency to provide financial and technical resources to municipalities. The program aims to protect and restore water quality and living resources within the Buzzards Bay watershed by funding projects that implement recommendations from the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan. A total pool of 748,001 dollars in federal funds, provided via the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the U.S. EPA, is available to be distributed among approximately three to six projects, with individual awards capped at 375,000 dollars. Applications must be submitted electronically through the EEA Grant Management System by December 8, 2026. Proposals are evaluated on a competitive basis, with scoring focused on the degree of environmental impairment, priority category, climate resilience, and alignment with Commonwealth Environmental Justice goals. Eligible projects must comply with the Build America, Buy America Act and the MBTA Communities Law to avoid disqualification. The anticipated period of performance begins in February 2027 and ends on December 31, 2027, with a possible extension to June 30, 2028. Funding is administered on a reimbursement basis, with payments processed within 45 days of invoicing.
