Board approves $500,000 STEAP grant to rebuild Wigwam Road
Summary
The Litchfield Board of Finance unanimously approved a certified resolution to appropriate a $500,000 2025 Connecticut STEAP grant for reconstruction of Wigwam Road and authorized First Selectman Denise Raap to execute the necessary agreements to spend and administer the funds.
The Litchfield Board of Finance voted unanimously April 23 to appropriate a $500,000 Connecticut STEAP grant for the reconstruction of Wigwam Road and authorized First Selectman Denise Raap to execute agreements and certifications needed to administer the funds.
At the special meeting, Raap explained the grant is reimbursable and had not been approved during the town’s capital process; she asked that the Board adopt the certified resolution so the project could proceed to bonding. Matt Dwyer moved to approve the resolution and Elliott Fuessenich seconded; all members present voted aye and the motion carried.
The adopted resolution appropriates the 2025 STEAP grant in the amount of $500,000 for Wigwam Road reconstruction and authorizes the First Selectman to execute any and all agreements, contracts, documents, and certifications necessary for expenditure and administration of the funds in accordance with state requirements and the Town’s Capital Improvement Program.
The Board did not specify a construction timeline in the motion. Raap requested the action so the project can move forward into the bonding phase; further scheduling and procurement steps were not detailed at the meeting.
