State's One Stop for Growth Open for Applications
BOSTON — The Community One Stop for Growth application portal has opened for submissions for fiscal 2027. The portal is overseen by the Executive Office of Economic Development and provides a streamlined process for municipalities and organizations to apply for 14 state economic development grant programs.
One Stop grant programs are administered by EOED, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, and the quasi-public agency MassDevelopment. Programs in the One Stop offer direct funding and support to housing and economic development projects related to community activation and placemaking, planning and zoning, site preparation, building construction, and infrastructure.
"The Community One Stop for Growth is about helping communities deliver for their residents," said Gov. Maura Healey. "It reflects our belief that strong local leadership, inclusive economic growth, and a high quality of life go hand in hand. By making state support easier to navigate, we're helping cities and towns build housing, strengthen downtowns, and create opportunity for people across Massachusetts."
Municipalities and organizations wishing to apply for funding through the One Stop may begin by participating in an Expression of Interest process beginning today. During this time, applicants may receive guidance on priority projects from EOED staff before submitting a full application. Applicants may begin working on their applications now in the application portal. EOED will accept full applications from May 4 through June 3, with awards announced in the fall. For more information and to learn how to apply, visit www.mass.gov/onestop.
This year, the One Stop will add the Seaport Economic Council Grant Program to the application process.
A full list of programs offered through the One Stop is available online.
