State grant to fund half of Saber Point seawall; contractor to mobilize and check presentation planned
Summary
Town staff said the Connecticut Port Authority awarded a 50% grant (about $395,000) for the Saber Point seawall; contractor SMCO will begin mobilization and a public check presentation with Senator Marks and State Rep. Devin Carney was planned.
Town staff announced that the Connecticut Port Authority awarded a 50% grant for the Saber Point seawall repair, up to roughly $395,000, and the contractor selected (SMCO) would begin mobilization immediately. Officials said they planned a public check presentation at the seawall site; invited guests include Senator Marks and State Rep. Devin Carney.
Staff said they were finalizing a hold-harmless agreement with the private property owner (John Kadama) because some work touches private land; phase-one and phase-two environmental reports returned favorable results and staff do not expect pollutant-related complications. Work on the seawall is scheduled to begin with contractor mobilization, and the town will coordinate a press event coinciding with a middle-school closing ceremony the following morning.
No votes were taken; staff said mobilization and outreach would proceed and that the board would be updated as construction and grant paperwork move forward.
