New Ashford seeks response from landowner as dam-removal grant deadline nears
Summary
The Select Board reported it has been unable to reach landowner Michael Kearsey to complete paperwork required for a dam-removal grant due Oct. 1, raising concern the town may miss the grant deadline.
Chair Jason Jayko told the board the town has made substantial efforts to contact landowner Michael Kearsey to obtain paperwork needed to complete a grant application for the Kearsey Dam removal, but has not heard back. The board noted that the grant application is due Oct. 1 and expressed concern that the lack of required paperwork could jeopardize access to grant funds.
No additional details about the grant amount, funding source, or fallback options were provided during the meeting. Board members did not record a motion or vote on the matter at the Sept. 22 meeting but noted the urgency of reaching the landowner before the deadline.
