SPRINGFIELD — A federally funded project to address a slew of environmental initiatives in the city is progressing after President Donald Trump’s flurry of executive orders put the program in limbo.

“We are cautiously moving forward,” Tina Quagliato Sullivan, Springfield’s deputy development officer for housing, community development and neighborhoods, said on Monday.

In January, the city was notified that a $20 million grant from the Environmental Protection Agency was paused because of an executive order Trump called “ Unleashing American Energy .” It instructed agencies to hold funds under the Inflation Reduction Act, the source of the city’s EPA grant.
