Middletown Springs board votes to apply for $200,000 paving grant for targeted road work
Summary
Road commissioner recommended applying for a municipal paving grant to fund a phased pavement project estimated at $389,036; the board voted to apply for the $200,000 maximum award understanding the town would provide the remaining funds if the grant is awarded.
The Select Board authorized staff to submit a municipal paving grant application that targets a reclaim/grade/compact scope for specified segments. Road estimates supplied during the meeting put the project cost at roughly $389,036; the municipal grant maximum discussed is $200,000, meaning the town would need to budget the difference if the application is successful.
“We should probably only apply for the reclaiming, grade and compact and installing the 2.5 inch base and the 0.5 inch top for an estimated total of $389,036,” the road commissioner said. Board members discussed prioritizing segments within the maximum grant award and decided to proceed with the application; the motion to apply passed unanimously.
Selectboard members directed the town clerk and road commissioner to complete the application before the submission deadline and to coordinate any additional supporting materials the state requires.
