Emergency Management Director Karen Day told the Selectboard on April 29 that she was researching a grant to install a generator at the Meeting House and recommended designating the renovated building as the town’s emergency shelter.
Day noted the Meeting House is now ADA-compliant, has an elevator, a full kitchen and greater capacity than the Library meeting room, making it the town’s best option for a shelter. The board approved designating the Meeting House as an official shelter, updated and signed the emergency plan, and authorized Day to apply for a generator grant using a soft match composed of contributed staff hours.
The minutes record approval of the designation and the board’s authorization to pursue the grant; no dollar amounts or specific grant sources were recorded in the minutes.
