Sen. Eldridge and Rep. Arciero Announce $5 Million for Littleton’s King Street Commons Project
Funding will build new roadways, utilities, and pedestrian infrastructure as part of Littleton’s next phase of the King Street Commons redevelopment
Littleton, MA — State Senator Jamie Eldridge (D- Marlborough) and State Representative James Arciero (D- Littleton) announced that the Town of Littleton has been awarded $5,000,000 through the state’s FY26 Community One Stop for Growth program. The funding, part of the MassWorks Infrastructure Program, was officially announced September 30, 2025 by the Healey-Driscoll Administration and will support the next phase of the King Street Commons Public Infrastructure Project.
The funding will go toward Phase 3 of the multi-year effort to transform the King Street area into a vibrant residential and mixed-use neighborhood. Specifically, this phase will create a new internal street network and implement key surface improvements, unlocking access to multiple parcels and enabling future development. It will also include traffic, pedestrian, and utility upgrades that build on infrastructure installed during Phases 1 and 2.
“The construction of the King Street Common is an important step to enhancing green infrastructure and facilitating a new mixed-use neighborhood for Littleton’s future growth. I especially want to recognize Representative Jim Arciero’s leadership as the previous House Chair of the Joint Committee on Housing, whose advocacy was instrumental in securing an initial $10 million earmark for this project’s infrastructure. I’m also grateful to DOER Secretary Eric Paley, EOHLC Secretary Edward Augustus, Town Manager Jim Duggan, and the Littleton Select Board for their commitment to bringing this vision to life,” said State Senator Jamie Eldridge. “Littleton is a leading example for towns across Massachusetts by advancing innovative and sustainable community development.”
“This is a major win for Littleton and a critical investment in the town’s future,” said State Representative James Arciero. “These infrastructure upgrades are essential to the long-term growth of Littleton. I’m grateful to Governor Maura Healey, Secretary Eric Paley, and Secretary Ed Augustus for their continued commitment to supporting our communities through programs like MassWorks.”
The MassWorks Infrastructure Program is a competitive grant program under the Executive Office of Economic Development and a key component of the broader Community One Stop for Growth platform, which supports housing production, job creation, and community revitalization across the Commonwealth.
