Selectboard authorizes town to accept VTrans FY26 grant
Summary
The Selectboard voted to enter an agreement with VTrans to use an FY26 grant; members clarified the vote authorized using the grant and did not represent a local buy-in decision, and staff will sign final paperwork.
The Braintree Selectboard voted to enter into an agreement with the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) to accept an FY26 grant and to authorize staff to sign the paperwork.
The Chair moved to enter the VTrans FY26 agreement, explaining that the vote authorized the town to use the grant rather than committing the town to any additional project buy-in. A board member indicated they would sign and members voted in favor. One member summarized, “This is not us buying into a project. This is just saying we're gonna use the grant.”
The board did not debate detailed project scope on the floor; members asked staff to confirm the agreement documents and to return signed forms as required. The board recorded the motion and voice vote, and staff will file the executed grant paperwork.
