Selectman Massey says Sterling should not pursue water filtration plant unless fully grant‑funded; item deferred
Summary
Selectman Patricia Massey reiterated that the town should not proceed with a proposed water filtration plant unless grants cover the full cost; the board had no new updates and voted to remove the item from the agenda until more information is available.
Selectman Patricia Massey told the Board of Selectmen that she believes Sterling should not move forward with a proposed water filtration plant "unless it is completely covered by grants."
The point was raised during the meeting’s Unfinished Business discussion of the Water Filtration Plant DWSRF application and funding process. First Selectman Jack Joslyn said there was no new update and that staff are continuing to look into and apply for grants. The board voted to remove the item from the agenda until further updates are available.
No cost estimates, grant award status or timelines for the filtration plant were provided in the meeting transcript. The discussion was limited to the selectmen and town staff stating their current positions and a decision not to take further action until more information is available.
Because the board did not direct immediate action beyond continued grant‑seeking and deferring the item, the future of the project and its potential funding remain unresolved.
