Main Street assessment team reviews town green lighting and mural site; $5,000 grant opportunity noted
Summary
Meri Wick reported a site visit as part of the CT Main Street Assessment and Accelerator Program to review lighting around the town green and mural; stakeholders were encouraged to apply to the Westbrook Foundation and Wick said 'There is a $5,000.00 grant opportunity' at the program's end.
Committee member Meri Wick summarized the CT Main Street Assessment and Accelerator Program site visit: the team reviewed lighting options around the town green, examined the mural site for opportunities for secondary lighting, and discussed lighting near trees.
Wick said they met with key stakeholders — Public Works, the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance — and were encouraged to submit a request to the Westbrook Foundation. "There is a $5,000.00 grant opportunity at the end of the Accelerator Program process," she reported. The group plans further meetings and will create a communications flyer to support outreach.
Wick also identified two buildings at Westbrook Place that need repainting; she said the committee will approach property owners about potential funding and will place that item on a future agenda.
