Vernon announces $700,000 CDBG award for North Main Street reconstruction
Summary
Town officials said Vernon received $700,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to rebuild sections of North Main Street, with $500,000 set for fiscal 2026–27 and $200,000 anticipated the following year; officials named the project manager and described next steps.
The mayor of Vernon announced at a public hearing that the town has been awarded $700,000 under the 2026 Community Development Block Grant program to support a North Main Street reconstruction project. "We have been awarded $700,000," the mayor said, specifying $500,000 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and an additional $200,000 the following year.
The mayor named Jay Ritchie as the project manager listed on the grant application and said Scott Livingston will oversee road work, with the mayor's office also involved in coordination. Officials said engineering and federal requirements tied to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program must be completed before construction can begin; the mayor estimated work would likely start next year and noted the project has an 18-month completion window under grant rules. Copies of the amended capital investment plan will be made available to the public when ready.
