To the Honorable Board:

I respectfully request your acceptance of a Grant from the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development in the amount of $82,574. These funds will be used for the Commonwealth's Advanced Manufacturing Training program. Consistent with Governor Bakers Workforce Skills Cabinets goals this program will provide training to unemployed and underemployed individuals including veterans, minorities and women and that support the workforce needs of the Commonwealth’s globally competitive advanced manufacturing cluster.

In accordance with M.G.L., Chapter 44, Section 53A, which requires a vote of the Board of Alderman for the expenditure of grants, or gifts from the federal government and from charitable foundation, private corporation, or an individual, or from the Commonwealth, a County or Municipality or agency thereof, I request that you accept this grant for final approval.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
