The Gov. Charlie Baker Administration announced on Friday it was allocating $433,381 to three Central Massachusetts towns newly designated as Green Communities under the state’s program. The three Central Massachusetts towns to receive the designation include Clinton, Hopedale and Princeton, which received grant funding totaling $164,753, $137,759 and $130,869, respectively. Nine new towns were added to the Green Communities list, in total. With the additions, 87% of the state’s population now live in towns and cities who are part of the program, which has distributed over $137 million in grant funding, according to the announcement. Under the Green Communities Act, the state’s Department of Energy Resources may provide up to $20 million annually to qualifying cities and towns to support investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
