DCED Recently Opened the Application Window for The Pipeline Investment Program and Business In Our Sites.
The Pipeline Investment Program (PIPE) provides grants to construct the last few miles of natural gas distribution lines to business parks, existing manufacturing and industrial enterprises, which will result in the creation of new economic base jobs in the commonwealth while providing access to natural gas for residents. Funds may be used for acquisition, construction, and site preparation costs associated with extending natural gas pipelines to serve eligible applicants.
Business In Our Sites (BOS) empowers communities to attract growing and expanding businesses by helping them build an inventory of ready sites. All site development activities that are required to make a site shovel-ready. This program is for speculative projects only. Funds cannot be used for projects that are primarily residential or recreational. Sites must be previously utilized property or undeveloped property that is planned and zoned for development.
Please see guidelines for further information.
