Northampton, MA Using COVID Relief Funds to Create Unique TMNT Manhole Covers

The manhole covers will be featured on Northampton's Key Road, and also will presumably be themed around the 4 popular turtles-- Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, as well as Michelangelo.

A Massachusetts town is spending $20,000 in funds from a COVID-19 relief program to offer several of its manhole covers an Adolescent Mutant Ninja Turtles makeover.

The Western Mass. city of Northampton is offering the funds to the Northampton Vibrancy Committee to design as well as produce four manholes covers based upon the TMNT series. Northampton received $4 million from the COVID stimulus campaign called the American Rescue Plan, according to regional information associate WCVB.

The Northampton Vibrancy Job is a federal government project that aims to renew Northampton's downtown service community after the pandemic adversely impacted neighborhood companies.

Why is this happening in Northampton? That's where Mirage Studios, the initial designers of the TMNT comics collection, called residence for an amount of time.

2022's TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection is the current TMNT computer game. A new TMNT computer animated movie, Mutant Trouble, remains in manufacturing as well as collection for launch this year from Seth Rogen as well as Evan Goldberg.
