Williamstown stresses community support in $25,000 municipal planning grant application
Summary
The commission reviewed its Municipal Planning Grant application, thanked local organizations for support letters, and confirmed the town has $8,000 in its planning budget with a $2,500 local commitment; CVRPC will attend the May 14 kickoff if the town is awarded one of the $25,000 grants announced April 30.
Chair Rich Turner thanked local partners — including the library, the food shelf and the historical society — for letters of support on the Municipal Planning Grant application and said Eli Touhee assisted with the grant effort. Turner reminded commissioners that winners of the $25,000 grants will be announced on April 30 and that grants are typically disbursed in phases rather than as a single lump sum.
Commissioner Rama Schneider asked about the town’s budgeted contribution; Turner said the commission currently has $8,000 in the budget and a $2,500 commitment comes from that balance. He said the State expects the local match to be in the current fiscal year and that, if awarded, the commission will hold a grant kickoff at its May 14 meeting.
