The City of Peabody has been notified of an award of at least $523,178. In accordance with the CARES Act, the funds must be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19.

The CDBG-CV funds will be utilized to meet emergency needs that are a direct result of the COVID19 virus. Funds will be provided to local service providers that have been assisting Peabody households directly affected by COVID-19.

commitment to supply the electricity needs of the Parking Garage in
full at no cost to the BPDA and an annual fixed rent payment. Use of the
Leased Premises will be conveyed through a 20-year air rights lease by
the BPDA pursuant to the RFP. The Leased Premises are being offered as
