Town wins $85,000 USDA SEARCH grant for sewage-treatment feasibility study; additional EPIC funds possible
Summary
Town Manager Patterson said Green Mountain Falls received an $85,000 USDA SEARCH grant (no local match required) to study sewage-treatment feasibility; an additional $85,000 in EPIC funding may be available for subsequent engineering work.
Town Manager Patterson announced that Green Mountain Falls was awarded an $85,000 USDA SEARCH grant for a feasibility study of a sewage-treatment system — the award requires no local match. Patterson said the town also secured a potential $85,000 in EPIC funding to support engineering after the feasibility study, though that would not cover total construction costs.
Patterson called the feasibility grant a ‘‘pretty big win’’ and said the town will use the study to make future grant applications more competitive. He cautioned that most grants require some local contribution for construction and noted that a long-term sewer solution will likely require substantial town funds or matched grants to reach shovel-ready status.
