EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE - BOSTON, MA 02133 [phone removed] MAURA T. HEALEY KIMBERLEY DRISCOLL GOVERNOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR MATTHEW J. GORZKOWICZ SECRETARY March 13, 2026 Dear Jacob Wilson, It is with great pleasure that we inform you that the City of Somerville has been awarded a $100,000 grant through the Community Compact Cabinet’s (CCC) Information Technology grant program. Once again, this year, grant requests exceeded the program’s available budget, reiterating the value of this program. Your application was chosen because it met the overarching goal of driving innovation and transformation at the local level via investments in technology. We want to thank you for your continued efforts to make your community a better place by adopting best practices and striving for innovation. Your participation in the Community Compact program not only provided you with technical assistance, it also places you in a more competitive position for other state grants, including this IT program. The health of the Commonwealth’s 351 cities and towns underpins the overall success of Massachusetts and its residents. Without the tireless efforts of folks like you, our communities wouldn’t be the vibrant, thriving places they are today. Attached are the grant documents that need to be completed to get the funds to your community. These should be sent to Jennifer McAllister ([email removed]) at the Division of Local Services (DLS) as soon as possible, but no later than April 3, 2026. The receipt of grant funds is contingent upon the grantee being able to certify that it will comply with the Massachusetts General Laws, including G.L. c. 40A, § 3A, the MBTA Communities Act. Compliance with the MBTA Communities Act is determined by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. Congratulations and thank you, again, for your tireless work to serve your community. Sincerely, Kim Driscoll Matthew Gorzkowicz, Secretary Lieutenant Governor Executive Office for Administration and Finance
