Selectboard authorizes match commitment to carry forward wastewater loan, cites funding gaps
Summary
The Montgomery Selectboard authorized Chair Charlie Hancock to sign a match commitment to the Northern Border Regional Commission to carry forward an RD loan for the municipal wastewater project after learning TAP engineering funds (~$530,000) are spent and an NBRC construction grant (~$801,000) requires ~ $300,000 in matching documentation.
The Town of Montgomery Selectboard on Nov. 3 authorized Selectboard member Charlie Hancock to sign a match commitment to the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) to carry forward the Rural Development (RD) loan for the municipal wastewater project. The motion, made by Selectboard member Mark Brouillette and seconded by Daniel Khan, passed unanimously, 5-0.
Board members were briefed by Bethany Remmers of the Northwest Regional Planning Commission that the project's TAP grant engineering funds have been spent ("~$530k" in the minutes) and that the NBRC construction grant is roughly $801,000 and requires documentation of matching funds estimated at about $300,000. The update also noted that right-of-way clearance and easement work are starting but remain unresolved, which contributes to a construction pause. The board recorded the motion to authorize the match commitment as a step to preserve funding and move the project forward.
