Matt Armstrong, Kensington’s Road Manager, explained that Article 7 would appropriate $200,000 (non‑lapsing through Dec. 31, 2027) to supplement annual paving and cover approximately one mile of road work, given the town’s roughly 22 miles of roads. He clarified that the larger recurring budget line covers routine maintenance tasks such as plowing, salting, culvert repair and patching rather than capital paving projects.
