State Launches Business Builds Program to Support Business Expansion
BOSTON — The Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) announced the launch of Business Builds, a new competitive capital grant program designed to support business expansion, job creation, and climate-friendly investment across Massachusetts.
Created through the Mass Leads Act and administered by the Massachusetts Office of Business Development, Business Builds provides strategic grants to businesses relocating to, expanding in, or creating new jobs in Massachusetts. The program is aimed at strengthening Massachusetts’ competitiveness, accelerating private investment, and advancing projects that provide a clear public benefit, including job growth, revitalization of underutilized properties, and economic growth in rural areas.
“Massachusetts succeeds when businesses can grow, innovate, and create jobs in every region of our state,” Gov. Maura Healey said. “Business Builds gives employers the support they need to modernize facilities, expand operations, and invest with confidence right here in Massachusetts.”
Secretary of Economic Development Eric Paley added that “Massachusetts competes on the strength of its business climate and its ability to support companies that want to grow here. Business Builds is a smart, targeted tool that helps companies make the kinds of investments that drive long-term economic strength, from modernized facilities to job-creating expansions.”
Business Builds is a rolling program, and the next deadline to apply is Feb. 4, 2026. For more information, visit www.mass.gov/info-details/business-builds-capital-grant-program.
“Business Builds provides flexible, practical support that meets companies where they are, whether they are expanding in a gateway city, modernizing a rural facility, or transforming a site that has been underutilized for years,” Undersecretary of Business Strategies Zenobia Moochhala said. “This is about helping employers thrive and ensuring that every region of the state shares in our economic momentum.”
