City Council discusses Waterford funding delays and encourages community engagement

The Gardner Council on Aging meeting held on June 2, 2025, focused on community engagement and updates regarding the Waterford project. Council members emphasized their openness to public participation, inviting residents to join and learn more about ongoing initiatives.

A significant topic of discussion was the status of the Waterford project. Council members noted that there have been delays in funding due to the certification process of final loan amounts, which has taken longer than expected. This delay has surprised the city council, but officials clarified that it is not due to any specific fault; rather, it is a procedural issue that must be resolved at the state level.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to transparency and community involvement, encouraging residents to stay informed and engaged with local developments. As the Waterford project progresses, the council will continue to provide updates and seek public input.
