Legislature hears update on Sand Road water project; $5 million grant petition headed to town board
Summary
At the Sept. 17 meeting a legislator reported the Sand Road water project has collected required assessments and signatures and will petition the Stafford Falls town board for approval to secure a $5 million grant; the report said the county risks losing the grant if the petition is not approved.
A report to the Clinton County Legislature on Sept. 17 said the Sand Road water project has reached a procedural milestone and will be presented to the Stafford Falls town board for petition approval as the county seeks a $5,000,000 grant.
The speaker said the project has obtained sufficient assessed-value signups and signatures to proceed with a petition to the town board and that the project team hopes to have the item on the town board’s October meeting agenda. “That is a $5,000,000 grant. If we, you know, if we don't realize that grant, we will lose it,” the speaker said during committee and board reports.
No resolution for final county appropriation or contract award was recorded in the legislature’s minutes at that time; the speaker said the county will seek to have a resolution to proceed placed on the October town board agenda. The update indicates the project remains contingent on the town board’s action and on continued progress meeting grant requirements.
Next steps identified in the meeting record include filing the petition with the Stafford Falls town board and, if the board acts in October, returning to the county with any required resolutions or contract actions. The legislature did not take a final vote on the Sand Road project at the Sept. 17 session.
