Town awarded GOEO grant to advance Springdale medical clinic design
Summary
Town staff announced that the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity awarded a grant of a little over $330,000 to advance the Springdale medical clinic project from architect selection through construction drawings; contract paperwork is forthcoming.
Town staff announced during general announcements that the town's recent application to the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO) for the medical clinic project has been awarded. "We asked them for a little over $330,000 to take that project from getting an architect on board through construction drawings," Speaker 2 said, and then confirmed, "That grant has been awarded."
Speaker 2 explained that the GOEO award is intended to fund design work and early phases that would enable the town to put financing together for later construction. The speaker said the GOEO contract appears to be a two-year term, giving the town time to complete the scope and then move into construction phases when funding is in place. The speaker thanked the mayor and Colette Cox for assistance with the state-level application.
The speaker said GOEO will send contract documents and that the town will forward them to the town attorney and add the matter to a future agenda for formal acceptance and execution. No dollar amount beyond the approximate requested figure or specific project schedule was provided in the meeting segments.
