Harrietstown seeks up to $675,000 in EPF funds to rehab historic Town Hall; town to cover $299,720
Summary
On July 11, 2024 the Harrietstown Town Board unanimously adopted Resolution No. 10 supporting a 2024 Environmental Protection Fund Historic Preservation grant application for up to $675,000 toward an estimated $964,720 Town Hall rehabilitation; the town plans to cover the remaining $299,720, likely via a Bond Anticipation Note.
The Town of Harrietstown Board voted unanimously on July 11, 2024 to back an application for up to $675,000 from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) Historic Preservation program to replace the roof and perform masonry repairs on the Harrietstown Town Hall. Councilwoman Tracey Schrader moved the measure (Resolution No. 10 of 2024) and Councilwoman Ashley Milne seconded; the roll-call vote recorded all five board members voting in the affirmative.
The resolution estimates the total project cost at $964,720, leaving a local share of $299,720. The minutes state that the town intends to issue a Bond Anticipation Note (BAN) to cover the local portion. The resolution also notes EPF is a reimbursement grant program that may provide progress payments and that the Town Board commits to maintaining the improvements.
At the same meeting the board adopted Resolution No. 11, determining that the Town Hall rehab is a Type II action under SEQR (6 NYCRR §617.5(c)(2)), which the board recorded as not subject to further SEQR review. That SEQR determination was moved by Councilman Jeremy Evans and seconded by Councilman John Williams and adopted by roll-call vote with all members voting Aye.
The board took no additional funding votes at the meeting beyond endorsing the grant application and recording the town's intended financing approach (BAN). Next steps documented in the minutes: filing the resolution with the clerk and proceeding with the EPF application process; the minutes do not state application submittal dates or grant award timing.
