Selectboard votes to de‑obligate 2022 NBRC award for Streetscape project, plans later application
Summary
On Jan. 5 the Montgomery Selectboard voted 4–0 to de‑obligate a 2022 NBRC award tied to the Streetscape project and to pursue right‑of‑way work and a future application after securing funding; staff said construction is unlikely before spring 2028.
Selectboard member Mark moved and the board unanimously approved a motion to de‑obligate and return the 2022 NBRC award for the town's Streetscape project. The board cited revised timing and funding criteria as the primary reasons for returning the earlier award.
Staff reviewed an updated timeline that pushes permitting until funding is secured and said construction is unlikely to begin before spring 2028. The board was told updated NBRC criteria could make Montgomery eligible for a 20% local match on a future FY26‑style application instead of a 50% match, and discussed funding a roughly $60,000 right‑of‑way clearance in the 2026 budget via the Infrastructure Replacement Reserve Account.
