Surry Select Board to Seek Larger 2027 Budget for Newbury Neck Road After Federal Holdup
Summary
The Select Board said a delay in a Homeland Security bill could push back federal funding for Newbury Neck Road; the town plans to submit 2027 proposals with an increased budget of about $5 million and is collecting support letters for Senators King and Collins.
The Town of Surry Select Board discussed potential delays to federal funding for the Newbury Neck Road project at its March 18 meeting, and agreed to pursue a larger 2027 appropriation. The board said the Homeland Security bill holdup may affect the project’s federal support, and the town will prepare proposals increasing the project budget to approximately $5 million, up from an original $3.2–$3.3 million estimate.
Board members said they are collecting new support letters from residents and agencies to send to senators representing Maine. The board did not adopt a final vote on contracting or scheduling at the meeting; next steps are to finalize and submit the revised funding proposals for 2027.
