WESTFIELD — The Westfield Athenaeum and Amelia Park Children’s Museum have had their earmarked funding halved as a result of Gov. Maura Healey’s recent 9C budget cuts, as have plans to rehabilitate the Cross Street Playground.
The cuts, which total $375 million, come as a result of lower-than-expected state tax revenues.
“It’s very disappointing that we are not going to be able to get the funds,” said Diane Chambers, the museum’s executive director. Amelia Park Children’s Museum Inc. was originally set to receive $10,000, and will now receive only $5,000.
