Otis board schedules March 11 public hearing on state-funded housing rehab block grant
Summary
The Otis Selectboard set a March 11 public hearing after Brett Roberts of BRPC outlined a state-funded housing rehab block grant aimed at assisting homeowners with roofs, septic systems and windows; Otis participated with six homes in the last round.
The Otis Selectboard on Feb. 25 set a public hearing for March 11 to consider a state-funded Housing Rehab Block Grant after hearing an overview from Brett Roberts of BRPC. Roberts told the board the program helps homeowners with repairs such as roofs, septic systems and windows and that New Marlborough is the lead community while Mt. Washington is also participating. He said Otis had six homes participate in the last round.
The grant, as described by Roberts, is intended to assist homeowners facing repair challenges; the board did not record specific dollar amounts or eligibility criteria in the minutes. The Selectboard set March 11 for Roberts to return and hold the public hearing so residents can ask questions and learn application details.
The board took no formal vote on approving the agreement at the Feb. 25 meeting; the minutes say only that Roberts outlined the inter-local agreement and that a public hearing was scheduled. Next steps for the grant process will be determined at the public hearing on March 11.
