07/15/2025 Via E-Mail Alan Inacio 93 Highland Avenue Somerville, MA 02143 RE: FY 2026 Community Mitigation Award- Somerville Dear Alan Inacio, On behalf of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, I extend my congratulations on your successful application to the Community Mitigation Fund. We are confident that your grant- funded work will contribute positively to the region. Enclosed with this letter is the Grant and State Contract for execution by a person authorized to sign on behalf of the community. Please be sure to read the grant and contract as they contain detailed information about the terms and conditions of your grant, including the approved grant amount, reporting requirements, special conditions (if any), and end date of the grant. It’s important to note that the Commission changed the duration of the grants to two years (instead of four years). You can find all necessary forms for quarterly reports and close-outs on our website at https://massgaming.com/about/community-mitigation-fund/forms/. Please review these carefully and feel free to reach out to our team if you have any questions or need further clarification. Your signed grant and contract must be returned as soon as possible to ensure the appropriate encumbrance of funds. No expenditures can be made on this Grant until fully executed copies of the grant and contract are received by MGC. Once again, congratulations on your grant award. We look forward to working closely with you to ensure the successful completion of your grant funded work. Sincerely Joseph Delaney, Chief of Community Affairs
