On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Federal Funds and Infrastructure Office (FFIO) will host an information and listening session for local officials and organizations at Tufts University to learn about how the Healey-Driscoll Administration can support local infrastructure projects. Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure Quentin Palfrey will provide an overview of state and federal funding opportunities, technical assistance resources, and matching funds available for municipalities, nonprofits, and other Massachusetts entities. 

Under Director Quentin Palfrey, FFIO leads Governor Healey’s whole-of-government strategy for leveraging the opportunities available to access federal funding. On September 24, 2024, Governor Healey signed legislation that unlocks up to $750 million for Massachusetts to aggressively pursue federal funding opportunities. FFIO will share the office’s mission and information on support available to municipalities to advance municipal infrastructure projects and compete for federal funding, including information on new resources made available by the recently passed legislation. Following the presentation, participants will be invited to join small group discussions with state officials. Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet directly with Healey-Driscoll Administration officials, including FFIO and MassDOT. 

 

“We will provide information about what grants and financing opportunities are available to communities for infrastructure projects and how our office can help Massachusetts communities move projects forward. We want to hear directly from communities about local priority projects so the administration can support these key investments,”” said Quentin Palfrey, Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure.  

 

Who: Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure Quentin Palfrey; Bob LaRocca, Deputy Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure; Kristen Rebelo, Community Grants Program Administrator at MassDOT. 

When: Tuesday, June 17, 2025, from 11am to 1pm
