LCPC backs $2M floodplain restoration project in Wolcott
Summary
The commission approved a resolution supporting a roughly $2,000,000 floodplain restoration application for Wolcott, noting benefits for downstream communities; a project delivery lead (Megan) was identified.
The Lamoille County Planning Commission approved a resolution to support a Wolcott floodplain restoration project, which staff said is seeking roughly $2,000,000 to restore river corridor areas on town and State Fish & Wildlife land and provide downstream flood benefits.
Staff described the project as a construction initiative (not just planning), and noted each project application includes a 5% allocation for project delivery and staff administration; Megan was named as the lead staff for the Wolcott restoration. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
The board recorded the motion and confirmed staff will sign the application documents; project development will proceed subject to state review and grant award.
