Selectboard green-lights ordering office HVAC and refrigerator if covered by grant; awaits concrete estimates for office addition

During the grant update on July 22, 2025, the Eden Selectboard reviewed potential office upgrades—thermostats, a refrigerator, and an AC unit—that staff identified as eligible for a grant. Clayton Whittemore had compiled the cost information; the board said staff may order the items provided they fall within what the grant would cover.

Separately, the board discussed an accounting issue discovered in the town office records. On the office addition project, Ricky Morin reported he contacted multiple concrete contractors who recommended larger firms to handle the wall work; the board is awaiting estimates before proceeding. No specific dollar amounts or contractor names (beyond the recommendation) were recorded in the minutes.
