Mark. “These aren’t just line items in a budget anymore—they’re real dollars that will be in the hands of schools, municipalities, nonprofits, first responders, and community organizations this fiscal year.

The investments will support behavioral health, education, public safety, transportation, child care, nonprofits, and local communities across the region.
