Council hears update on Net‑0 housing project, microgrid site and $30,000 Chesapeake Bay Trust grant
Summary
Town staff reported progress on the Net‑0 housing development (sidewalks installed, paving scheduled), a planned microgrid battery site, and a $30,000 Chesapeake Bay Trust grant to support green‑team projects.
Town manager Romey updated the council on the Net‑0 housing project, saying the developer installed sidewalks and that paving of the street adjacent to the homes has begun and should finish soon. He said about 200 applications had been received for units and that Lot 14 will be the site for a microgrid battery installation to house batteries and supporting equipment; construction there is expected in early spring.
Romey also announced the town was awarded a $30,000 Chesapeake Bay Trust grant for green‑team environmental work; the town requested $70,000 and will draw down $27,000 initially and $3,000 at project completion, and staff said some work items under the grant can be adjusted. The council discussed coordinating road closures during paving and public works assistance for staging and safety.
No formal votes were taken on the housing project or microgrid at this meeting; staff said they will coordinate next steps with the developer and public works and will report back as construction and grant work proceed.
