The Hebron Town Council unanimously approved three federal grant applications March 5 from the North Central Area Agency on Aging (NCAAA) to support senior services.
Motions on the floor authorized Town Manager Andrew J. Tierney to apply for, accept and receive each grant and to sign necessary documents. The awards and matching details recorded in the meeting were:
- Hebron Outreach and Social Support Services: $20,000 grant request with $59,040 in-kind matching funds from the Hebron Senior Center budget (fiscal year 2026).
- Hebron Therapeutic Activity and Health Promotion Program: $12,250 grant request with $68,517 in-kind matching funds from the senior center budget (federal fiscal year 2026).
- Human Transportation Services Grant: $48,000 grant request with matching funds listed in the transcript (appears as $87,413); the transcript line for the match is garbled and should be verified with the town budget office.
Why it matters: The grants support outreach, therapeutic activity and transportation for older residents and authorize the town manager to accept federal funds and sign documents needed to administer programs.
What happened at the vote: Council voted by voice for each grant; votes were recorded as in favor by council members present.
Next steps: Town staff will complete grant paperwork and notify the council when awards are finalized and when any in-kind matching commitments must be recognized in the senior center budget.
