According to a news release from the office of Massachusetts State Senator Michael Moore(2nd Worcester) on June 30, the Massachusetts Legislature enacted a $61.01 billion state budget for the 2026 fiscal year.

“The investments we’ve made in the FY26 budget are a reflection of our confidence in the future of the Commonwealth, despite ongoing uncertainty at the federal level,” Moore said in a press release. “I’m also pleased to have secured $1.5 million in investments in my district which will support educational programs, community services, infrastructure, veterans’ services and more in our neighborhoods,” Moore said. In the Blackstone Valley region, these include $70,000 to Grafton for the removal of invasive plants. There is also $57,000 earmarked for Millbury for repairs to the senior center roof.
