Winhall to apply for wastewater grant to study public restroom feasibility
Summary
The Select Board voted to apply for a state wastewater grant that offers 50% funding (up to $100,000 per phase) for feasibility and preliminary engineering to study siting a public restroom on 0.2 acres of town land; the town could provide up to a $40,000 match.
The Winhall Select Board authorized applying for a wastewater grant to fund feasibility and preliminary engineering work for a potential public restroom on town land.
Town Administrator Lissa Stark reported she met with state personnel about a wastewater grant that could pay 50% of project costs, up to $100,000 for each phase (feasibility and preliminary engineering). The town would be asked to provide a local match of up to $40,000. Coleman said he wants to "move forward through at least the feasibility phase of putting a public restroom on a small piece of land (0.2 acres) on the access road owned by the town." The Board voted to apply for the grant (motion by Julie Isaacs, seconded by Christie Boswell), and the motion passed unanimously.
Meeting minutes also record that the town has obtained approval for a 50,000‑gallon‑per‑day allocation of sewage capacity for Winhall, a key technical prerequisite for proceeding with wastewater‑connected facilities. Next steps include submitting the grant application and, if funded, undertaking feasibility work and preliminary engineering to determine costs and siting constraints.
