During a recent government meeting, officials discussed several funding opportunities, including a significant grant for water and sewer infrastructure. The town has received a revised commitment from the state, which will now cover 100% of the costs associated with the water and sewer Asset Improvement Allocations (AIA). Initially, the state had proposed a cost-sharing model, requiring the town to contribute a portion of the funding. However, this decision has been amended, allowing the town to accept a total grant of $150,000 without any financial obligation on their part.
To formalize this funding, the town council is expected to adopt a resolution that will authorize Town Administrator Michael King to execute the necessary documents on behalf of the town. This grant is seen as a crucial step in enhancing the town's water and sewer systems, ensuring better service and infrastructure reliability for residents. The meeting underscored the importance of securing state support for local projects, which can significantly alleviate financial burdens on municipal budgets.
