Council highlights state grants for downtown projects and a Scooters drive-thru opening
Summary
Council announced several state grants supporting the Grand Theater, Downtown Green Campus and a Franciscan walkway (amounts described as rough/approximate), and noted a Scooters drive-thru would open June 22 as drive-thru only.
Councilmember McManamon reported that the recently signed state budget included awards to local projects: roughly $400,000 to the Grand Theater (match likely required), roughly $60,000 to the Downtown Green Campus, $52,480 for an HVAC building, and about $150,000 to Franciscan for a walkway connecting University Boulevard and Wellesley. McManamon said these figures were "rough numbers" provided via Senator Chavez's office.
He also announced a Scooters location near the University would open June 22 with drive-thru service only until interior work is complete. McManamon congratulated project leads and encouraged public awareness of the grants; he asked staff to continue coordination with state and local partners.
