Board to pursue wastewater feasibility funding after Village Center designation; staff to confirm loan terms
Summary
Following a revised Otter Creek engineering proposal, the board agreed to have staff continue the funding process tied to the town’s new Village Center designation and to confirm whether state loans are zero-percent interest; final funding commitment was tabled pending state confirmation.
Town Administrator Lissa Stark presented a revised proposal from Otter Creek engineering and asked whether Winhall would cover 50% of the feasibility study costs. With the town’s recent Village Center Designation, the Select Board voted to proceed with staff continuing the application and funding coordination, but tabled final commitment until staff confirms terms with the state—specifically whether funds would be structured as a zero-percent loan.
Chair Coleman and Elizabeth Grant said the town should re-bid or re-evaluate if necessary but directed Stark to reach out to state contacts to re-enter the funding process under the new designation. The motion directing Stark to continue the process passed unanimously.
