The House 134-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $750,000 (reducing funding from $1 million to $250,000) for the Transformative Development Fund which is designed to accelerate economic development in focused districts that are walkable and have dense environments; and that have the potential to attract investment, inspire a wave of growth and transform Gateway Cities and beyond.

The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $750,000 was eliminated.

“I am reducing this item to an amount consistent with my [budget] recommendation due to the availability of alternative resources,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “MassHousing will maximize available alternative capital funding in the fiscal year 2025 Capital Investment Plan for the Neighborhood Hub Program that will serve the same purpose as the funding being vetoed.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $750,000. A “No” vote is against it.)
