Rep. Soter Announces IT Grant Funding for Bellingham & Uxbridge

Representative Soter is pleased to announce that the towns of Bellingham and Uxbridge have each been awarded funding through the Commonwealth’s Community Compact IT Grant Program. This competitive grant program supports municipalities in driving innovation, increasing efficiency, and improving service delivery through technology investments.

Bellingham has been awarded a $130,000 grant to support its migration to a cloud-based service, a critical upgrade that will enhance the town’s IT infrastructure and streamline operations. The project will help Bellingham deliver improved services to residents while ensuring long-term cost savings and sustainability.

Uxbridge will receive $100,000 to implement a new financial management system, which will modernize the town’s financial operations. This new system will allow for better financial tracking, increased transparency, and improved interaction between the town and its residents.

“I’m thrilled to see Bellingham and Uxbridge receive this important funding,” said Representative Soter. “Investing in technology is key to improving the efficiency and accessibility of local government services. These grants will help both towns modernize their operations, save taxpayer dollars, and make it easier for residents to engage with their local government.”

The Community Compact IT Grant Program provides grants of up to $200,000 to help municipalities implement innovative IT projects. These grants cover one-time capital needs such as technology infrastructure, software, and associated costs such as planning, installation, and training.

Both Bellingham and Uxbridge are excited about the opportunities this funding will create to enhance their local government operations and improve service delivery for residents.
