Following brief discussion and confirmation from a board member who contacted the Pownall town administrator, RSU 5 voted to draft a letter of support for the town’s application for state/local appropriations to build a joint fire/rescue and public-works facility.

The RSU 5 Board of Directors voted March 11 to draft and send a letter of support for the town of Pownall’s proposal to construct a joint fire and rescue station and public-works facility. The letter is intended for grant and appropriations applications being pursued by the town.

The agenda item included a sample letter provided by a consultant working with the town. One board member said she called Pownall’s town administrator (Becky) to confirm the project’s status and reported that warrant language is being finalized and that the project has been discussed in the community for several years. She noted that funding opportunities still exist with congressional and state appropriations sources.

After brief questions and a motion, the board approved drafting the letter and directed the superintendent’s office to prepare it promptly so the town could attach it to grant and appropriation submissions.
