Select board hears broad grants update; assigns project manager for East Hill Road culvert study
Summary
The board heard grant updates — including a HSIP guardrail award of $46,985 for Grafton Road and a Municipal Highway Stormwater Mitigation award of $48,000 (with a $12,000 match) for an East Hill Road culvert scoping study — and approved appointing the grants coordinator as project manager for the scoping study.
The grant coordinator gave the select board a sweeping update on recent awards and next steps for town infrastructure projects.
She reported that the town was named an awardee for the HSIP guardrail grant and that the application sought $46,985 to replace cable-and-post guardrail with metal guardrail along Grafton Road (about 2,505 linear feet). The coordinator also said the Municipal Highway Stormwater Mitigation Program awarded $48,000 for an East Hill Road culvert scoping study with a $12,000 town match and asked the board to appoint a project manager for compliance and coordination; the board voted to appoint Katie as the project manager for that scoping study.
Other items included a Bridge 43 project with an August start date, reissuing an RFP for Bridge 41 engineering after contractor feedback, a Communities Caring/Canopy reimbursement, and a range of Better Roads and equipment-grant prospects. The coordinator summarized that town grant-seeking since 2024 has yielded $738,531 in awards (figure excludes matches).
