AI Summary

This bill aims to promote local economic development by establishing a local economic development assistance program within the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development. The program will provide technical and financial assistance, in the form of grants, to cities and towns that have completed an economic self-assessment identifying opportunities for growth. Eligible cities and towns, or groups of municipalities, can apply for grants to fund economic development initiatives identified in their self-assessment. The bill sets a $10 million annual funding limit for the program, subject to appropriation, and requires the Office to adopt rules, regulations, and guidelines for the program's administration and enforcement, as well as submit annual reports on its expenditures and results.
