Committee hears update on lagoon loan and stormwater grants
Summary
Members were told the city received wastewater funding including an $8,000,000 loan that was "50% forgiven," and that a Transform grant will fund stormwater improvements at Cummings Park and within the Turnbull Hammock watershed; county will perform some work.
Doug (identified in the transcript as a speaking participant) reported that the city used a mix of grants and a loan to address lagoon and wastewater projects. He said the city "borrowed money too from the state" and that the loan was "50% forgiven, an $8,000,000 loan." Tim Morton noted the city remains a beneficiary of earlier funding and that additional Transform grant funding has been approved for stormwater improvements from Beacon Light Halifax through Turnbull Hammock to Putnam Grove.
Committee members asked staff to track remaining balances and implementation responsibilities; Morton said the county will perform some of the approved stormwater work and that the committee should reconcile which projects remain under city vs. county responsibility.
