An economic development package now sits on Gov. Charlie Baker's desk, awaiting his signature. 

The $3.7 billion agreement passed by the state legislature addresses the concerns families and workers face in the Commonwealth. The legislation makes investments in housing, job training, downtown improvements and climate resiliency.  

In central Massachusetts, state Rep. David LeBoeuf said money is going to local health centers and cleaning up the Worcester area. 

"One of the great things is we have at least $100,000 to the Worcester Green Corps," LeBoeuf said. "That is actual funding not bonding. It will really help high school kids get involved in some of the clean tech engineering and environmental science careers but also beautify our neighborhoods.

"There's some great statewide funding for federally qualifying community health centers, which both Edward M. Kennedy and the Family Health Center will have some benefits for that."

Lawmakers had initially floated spending $1 billion for tax breaks, rebates and reforms, but avoided further spending in case of a recession. State Sen. Michael Moore said the scaled-back version still has plenty to like, but's hard to ignore the missing pieces.

"I wish that had also been part of the package, simply because we have a lot of expenses," Moore said. "Inflation, every aspect of our life, retail, utilities, gas, everything is being impacted by inflation right now. I think any additional support we could've given would help our constituents."
