Summary
The Lamoille County Planning Commission approved three consultant-focused grants for floodplain restoration projects—Wescom Road ($58,565.86), Gihon Confluence ($57,967.61), and Vermont Studio Center ($30,238.00)—funded through NRPC CSWP and a WUV block grant.
Tasha Wallis reviewed three grant requests that required board approval because each exceeds $30,000. The projects are: Wescom Road Floodplain Restoration ($58,565.86) for preliminary design funded through a Northwest Regional Planning Commission Clean Water Service Provider (NRPC CSWP) grant; Gihon Confluence Floodplain Restoration ($57,967.61) for preliminary modeling analysis funded through a NRPC CSWP grant; and Vermont Studio Center Floodplain Restoration ($30,238.00) for final design engineering funded through a Watershed United Vermont (WUV) Enhancement Design/Implementation Block Grant.
Dan McLaughlin moved to approve all three grants and Sam Lotto seconded; the motion carried. Combined, the three awards total $146,771.47. Staff indicated the grants primarily cover consultant costs and the Board's approval is required for awards over $30,000.
