Officials: all grants for Back Street River Park approved
Summary
Town staff reported that all grants connected to the Back Street River Park have been approved; the Selectboard noted the news and will follow up on next steps and implementation planning.
During the Jan. 27 meeting, town staff informed the Selectboard that all grant applications tied to the Back Street River Park project had been approved.
Suzanne Goulet reported that the town received confirmation that all grants for the Back Street River Park were approved. Selectmen acknowledged the update and noted it as a positive step that clears a major funding hurdle for the project.
The board did not record a formal vote on the grants during the meeting; staff and selectmen discussed next steps informally and indicated they will follow up with project planning and any necessary administrative tasks to implement the work funded by the grants.
Why this matters: grant approvals remove a principal financial barrier and allow the town to move from planning to implementation stages for the park project. No dollar amounts or grant sources were specified in the meeting record.
The Selectboard signaled interest in coordinating implementation logistics; members asked staff for follow-up details. No timeline was established at the Jan. 27 meeting.
