Maura Healey, who leads Massachusetts, shared more about her plans for the state’s economy. She wants to give $1 billion for the next 10 years for life sciences. Life sciences study living things, like plants and animals. Maura also wants to start a new project. This project will support climate tech. Climate tech is technology that helps the earth. She will give $1 billion for this, too, over 10 years.
She shared her plans at a company called Form Energy. The company is still working on the full plan. The Life sciences plan will give money to help the field grow. She also wants to save money for climate tech. This plan will give money to the Clean Energy Center in Massachusetts.
The money will also be used for things like training workers. If companies don’t meet their goals, they might need to return the money. Maura believes her plan is good for their state. She thinks it will attract more businesses to Massachusetts. It will also help people and the earth, she says.
