Town staff updated the board on Main Street drainage work and funding.
The superintendent provided a written progress description saying drainage installation on Main Street will be completed this summer followed by permanent patching; road closures and public notifications will occur as necessary with a target completion of the installed phase before Sept. 1. The town reported approximately $1.1 million in Chapter 90 funds have been dedicated to the Main Street project this year, with roughly $500,000 noted in the transcript as an allocation detail; staff said final decisions on how Chapter 90 funds are used remain with the highway superintendent.
Separately, staff said the town continues to pursue federal support and is working with the office of Congressman Ash on a potential $750,000 contribution toward the Main Street work. Board members requested notifications about road closures and asked staff to coordinate scheduling so permanent patching is completed promptly.
The board received the update as an informational presentation; no formal vote on the project funding or procurement was recorded at the meeting.
