Summary
The council authorized staff to prepare and submit an application to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control for up to $50,000 in matching grant funds to map and assess the town’s storm‑sewer infrastructure.
The Georgetown Town Council approved Resolution 2025‑03 authorizing submission of an application to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) for participation in the surface‑water matching planning grant program, seeking up to $50,000 in matching funds to map and review the town’s storm‑sewer infrastructure.
Town staff described the project scope as an inventory and condition assessment of catch basins, stormwater control structures and drainage paths. Staff said the application is a required formality and that the completed application is due at the end of the week. Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote and a roll call recorded in the meeting transcript.
If awarded, the grant funds would be used to help prepare mapping and engineering data to identify current conditions and maintenance needs across the town’s stormwater system. The council did not discuss specific match sources during the recorded discussion.
