Commissioner: VTrans denied roughly $1.2 million grant; MRVPD staffing change noted
Summary
Paul Quinlan reported the Mad River Valley Planning District learned VTrans declined a roughly $1.2 million grant the Mad River Path had sought; MRVPD's planner Sam Robinson has given notice and the Municipal Planning Grant deadline of Nov. 3 will be missed, with a spring resubmission planned.
Paul Quinlan relayed outcomes from a recent Mad River Valley Planning District meeting: a VTrans-related grant of about $1.2 million that the Mad River Path had been pursuing was denied. Quinlan said the MRVPD fiscal year just ended and the organization is entering a transition as planner Sam Robinson has given notice and will be leaving.
Quinlan told commissioners that Fayston will not be ready to meet the Municipal Planning Grant deadline of Nov. 3 and the commission plans to target the spring grant cycle instead. The report signals both near-term funding and staffing constraints that could affect regional projects tied to MRVPD support.
