Eden Selectboard to apply for Municipal Energy Resilience grant
Summary
The Selectboard voted to apply for the Municipal Energy Resilience Program, choosing 9 of 12 recommended upgrades for the Town Clerk’s Office addition; application deadline is Sept. 20, 2024. Victoria Helwig of LCPC will work with Town staff on the submission.
The Eden Selectboard voted to submit an application to the Municipal Energy Resilience Program (MERP), selecting nine of 12 suggested energy‑efficiency upgrades tied to the planned Town Clerk’s Office addition. Victoria Helwig, representing the Lamoille County Planning Commission, outlined available funding and eligibility linked to an energy assessment; the board instructed Melissa Whitcomb to work with Helwig on the application. The deadline for submission is September 20, 2024.
The motion to apply was moved by Ricky Morin and seconded by Tim Bullard and carried unanimously. The board discussed incorporating accessibility work—upgrades to the handicap ramp and front stairs—into the grant proposal alongside building efficiency measures. The decision does not obligate construction timing beyond the planned addition, for which bidding documents are being finalized.
