Board approves National Grid agreement; grant covers most pole costs
Summary
The Town Board authorized the Supervisor to sign an agreement with National Grid; Chief Keevern said a $105,000 grant pays most of the purchase expense and will reduce town costs to about $70.20 per pole, with permitting expected by May.
The board voted to authorize the Supervisor to sign an agreement with National Grid (Resolution 2025-03-23). Chief Keevern explained the financials behind the project: the purchase was funded through a $105,000 grant and "it will only pay $70.20 a pole," a savings the chief described as substantial. Staff expects to complete the permit process by May.
Councilmembers voted unanimously to approve the agreement. The minutes record that the grant reduces the town's immediate capital outlay, and staff will proceed with permitting and coordination with National Grid ahead of the anticipated work window.
