Select Board hears grants roundup, UVM downtown transportation study
Summary
The board learned about multiple grant awards and a UVM capstone downtown transportation study; a stormwater culvert study was awarded $48,000 (with $12,000 match) and a $5,000 highway safety sign award was signed with no local match.
Grant coordinator Katie briefed the board on several pending and awarded grants and a student transportation study. She said the town was not selected for a congressionally directed ADA funding round but plans to re-apply after technical assistance; the board was encouraged by several other successful awards and by a no-match $5,000 highway safety sign package.
Katie also reported the town was awarded a $48,000 Municipal Highway Stormwater Mitigation Program grant for an East Hill Road culvert-scoping study with a $12,000 match and extensive state guidance expected, and an Athens Road culvert upsizing award of about $56,000 (match roughly $11,200) is in environmental review. She noted the UVM capstone downtown transportation study is complete and available to inform sidewalk, crosswalk, parking and intersection planning.
"It's a $5,000 award with no match," Katie said of the highway safety sign package. The board discussed next steps for grant agreements and agreed staff should follow up on environmental review and state guidance.
