Town Manager schedules community meeting on grants, says town won flags grant for 250th birthday
Summary
Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb said work on three grants is underway, announced a community meeting for March 11 at 6:00 p.m., and said the town received a Cole Transportation matching grant to buy flags; she also said a missed budget meeting will be made up at the next scheduled meeting.
Winter Harbor — Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb said at the March 9 selectmen meeting that work is continuing on three grant applications, and she announced a community meeting for Wednesday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m. She also told the board the town was awarded a Cole Transportation matching grant to purchase flags for telephone poles marking the nation’s 250th birthday.
Liscomb said the town’s previously scheduled budget meeting was disrupted by an internet outage and a snow storm; the full budget will be presented at the next scheduled meeting to make up the missed session. The minutes record the grant work as ongoing; they do not detail grant amounts or specific grant sources beyond the Cole Transportation matching grant for flags.
Operations updates included a report from Fire Chief and Road Commissioner R. Chandler that benches are complete and will be placed once snow melts; J.E. Tracey is scheduled to begin dock repairs on March 10.
Why it matters: The community meeting will give residents the opportunity to review grant plans and the budget presentation. The flags grant is a funded, near‑term municipal purchase tied to town celebrations; dock repairs and bench placement are immediate town maintenance items.
The minutes list the community meeting date and the flag grant announcement as part of the Town Manager updates; the minutes do not provide grant award amounts or detailed scope for the dock repair work.
