Stonington selectmen authorize $400,000 Port Authority grant application for South Pier design, commit $200,000 local match
Summary
The Stonington Board of Selectmen voted to authorize an application to the Connecticut Port Authority for $400,000 to fund design and permitting of a South Pier extension, and committed a $200,000 local match from the White Rock Bridge budget if the grant is awarded.
The Stonington Board of Selectmen voted to authorize a $400,000 grant application to the Connecticut Port Authority to fund design and permitting of a South Pier extension and committed a $200,000 local match from the town’s White Rock Bridge budget line.
The resolution states the town will provide the required 50% local cost share and assume responsibility for any cost overruns if the grant is awarded. The board also authorized First Selectman Bill Middleton to execute the grant agreement and related documents on behalf of the town if the award is made. The board moved and seconded the resolution and passed it by voice vote.
The resolution as read to the board specified the project purpose as “South Pier extension design and permitting” and identified the White Rock Bridge budget line as the source of the $200,000 match. The transcript records the motion passed by voice vote; the exact roll‑call tally was not specified in the meeting record.
The board added the resolution to the agenda earlier in the meeting and handled it after candidate interviews. The next procedural step recorded in the meeting was that the first selectman will execute documents if the grant is awarded; no construction or contract award action was taken at this meeting.
