The change redirects federal community development funds after state guidance limited how long certain social-service grants could continue. It supports improvements to the community garden, extends funding for the Gardner Community Action Committee, Gardner Athletic Program, and Voices of Truth, and preserves the proposed $753,764 Downtown Improvements Phase 6 project and $121,236 in program administration funding. The FY2026 application still requires City Council action and must be submitted before the April 21 deadline.
