LITTLETON — State Rep. James Arciero and state Sen. Jamie Eldridge announced that the town of Littleton has been awarded $9.8 million in state funding through the fiscal 2027 round of the Community One Stop for Growth program. The awards, announced by the Healey-Driscoll administration, represent a significant state investment in the continued development of the King Street Commons area.

Littleton received $5 million through the MBTA Community Catalyst Fund to support Phase 4 of the King Street Commons Public Infrastructure Project. The funding will help construct roadway, curb, sidewalk, drainage, pedestrian corridor and landscape improvements above utility infrastructure completed during the project’s first three phases.

An additional $4.8 million through the MBTA Community Catalyst Fund will fund pedestrian and bicycle improvements connecting King Street Commons with Littleton’s town center.

“I’m pleased to see this substantial state investment in Littleton and the continued progress of the King Street Commons project,” said Arciero. “These funds will help the town make important infrastructure improvements while creating safer and more accessible connections for pedestrians, bicyclists, and residents. I’m grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for continuing to partner with communities across the Commonwealth.”

“I’m excited that Littleton will receive $9.8 million in One Stop Growth infrastructure funding, to make additional improvements to the Littleton Common,” said Eldridge. “These investments will fund construction of roadway, curb, sidewalk, drainage, crosswalks, shared use paths, and bike lanes, further supporting significant housing and commercial development along King Street. I’m grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for their continued investment in Littleton, and to town officials for their leadership in moving this project forward.”

The Community One Stop for Growth is a state-led initiative that consolidates multiple grant programs into a single application process, helping cities and towns access the resources they need to support housing, infrastructure and economic development.
