Blue Hill Select Board authorizes support letter for Penobscot Nation culvert grant
Summary
The Blue Hill Select Board voted 5-0 to authorize a Town support letter for the Penobscot Nation’s culvert replacement grant application, formally joining the Nation’s project and clearing the way for joint grant pursuit.
E. Best, chair of the Blue Hill Select Board, said the Penobscot Nation has decided to move forward with a culvert replacement grant application and will include the Town of Blue Hill in that application. The board voted 5-0 to authorize a Town support letter for the Penobscot Nation’s project.
The support letter does not commit Town funds but formally signals municipal backing for the culvert replacement application. Board members did not discuss specific design or funding commitments at the meeting; the record shows the action was limited to authorizing the support letter.
The authorization was passed as a single motion recorded in the minutes; the transcript reports the vote as 5 yes, 0 no. The Town will provide the support letter to the Penobscot Nation as the Nation advances its grant application. No further procedural steps or timelines for the grant submission were specified at the meeting.
