Select Board signs resolution to pursue $75,000 resilience grant and join county community resilience partnership
Summary
The town approved and signed a resolution to participate in a community resilience partnership and begin applying for a $75,000 CDBG grant to fund building weatherization, heat pumps, lighting upgrades and emergency planning, with a June 5 application deadline.
The Select Board voted to accept and sign a resolution committing the town to participate in a community resilience partnership and to pursue a $75,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application. The resolution notes priorities identified at a February 2, 2026 workshop, including building-envelope weatherization for public buildings, heat pumps or VRF heating/cooling, energy-efficient LED interior lighting upgrades, and development of emergency communications and evacuation plans aimed at populations underserved by mainstream channels.
Town staff and the York County grant contact indicated signing tonight would allow the town to meet the June 5 application deadline. The board approved the motion to sign and authorized staff to proceed with the application process; members were clear that the grant is not guaranteed and that further action would be required if awarded.
Next steps: staff will complete the application materials to meet the June 5 deadline and return to the board with any additional required votes if the grant is awarded.
