The Rutland Selectboard meeting on November 4, 2024, focused on several key updates regarding local infrastructure and grant approvals.
During the meeting, officials reported progress on maintenance activities at the transfer station, including tree clearing to enhance safety. Additionally, paving work was completed on an apron on Post Road, which had been overlooked during a previous project. This work was timely, as favorable weather conditions allowed for the completion of the task.
A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing a grant reimbursement request for the Post Road paving project. The board reviewed a reimbursement request from Fuller Sand and Gravel amounting to $98,026.31. The town's share of this cost, which requires a matching contribution, totals $19,006.62. After a motion was made and seconded, the board unanimously approved the reimbursement request.
Further discussions included updates on grading work completed on Quarter Line Road, ensuring that the town's roadways remain in good condition for residents.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the town's ongoing commitment to infrastructure improvements and effective management of public funds through grant opportunities.
