Summary

After a year of service and grant successes, the board approved a contract renewal with Forward Written LLC and discussed the consultant’s proposed modest rate increase and scope of services.

The Select Board voted to accept a contract with Forward Written LLC, endorsing the consultant's year-one report on grant applications and community work. The consultant reported roughly $5,000 in town services and said those efforts helped secure about $143,000 in grant funding, and he proposed a modest rate increase for his next contract year.

A board member moved to accept the contract that Alex had prepared; the motion was seconded and the board voted to sign the agreement and authorized Josh to sign on behalf of the Select Board. Alex summarized grant activity including VTrans and MERP submissions and noted the town could be eligible for programs like REDI ($7,500 consultant support) and sales-tax reallocation for eligible downtown projects.
