Council approves formal application for Northern Border Catalyst grant for Pavilion Project (50% match, no city funds requested)
Summary
Robyn Newton reported the Pavilion Project submitted a pre-application to the Northern Border Regional Commission Catalyst Program and the council approved a formal application; the grant requires a 50% match but the project does not seek city funds.
Robyn Newton, representing the Pavilion Project and the city's Parks & Recreation Committee, briefed the council that the committee has submitted a pre-application to the Northern Border Regional Commission Catalyst Program and sought approval to formally apply. Newton said the project requires a 50% match but that the committee is not requesting city funding; they will continue fundraising to provide the match if awarded.
Newton said the project is ranked No. 10 on the Addison County Economic Development Council priority list, which can provide additional scoring points for the application. Deputy Mayor Dickie Austin asked whether the project team had considered scaling back to reduce costs; Newton replied that scaling back would not yield sufficient cost savings to make the project feasible. Alderwoman Sue Rakowski moved to approve the formal application; the motion passed unanimously (7–0).
