County accepts $371,000 state grant for Dimock Road bridge replacement in Town of Wilton
Summary
The Public Works Committee accepted a New York State grant of $371,000 for a bridge replacement at Dimock Road in the Town of Wilton and amended the county budget by $37,000 to cover the difference from the capital plan; county share is 5%.
Saratoga County's Public Works Committee on March 4 accepted a New York State grant to replace a bridge on Dimock Road in the Town of Wilton and approved a related budget amendment.
Staff member Chad told the committee the project is funded 95 percent by the state and the county share is 5 percent. The full grant award is $371,000; the county already had $334,000 in its capital plan, so the required budget amendment was $37,000 to cover the difference. "So this is, some other, acceptance of a grant from New York State. Again, our our cost is 5%. So this is for a bridge replacement project at Town Of Wilton, at Dimock Road," Chad said.
A motion to accept the grant and amend the budget passed by voice vote following a motion and second. The transcript does not record a specific construction timeline, completion milestones or additional project conditions.
Why it matters: the grant will fund a local bridge replacement project with a modest county match; the committee's action authorizes acceptance of the award and the limited budget amendment needed to align the capital plan with the grant.
No further public comment on the item was recorded in the transcript.
