Town manager says federal Protect grant for bridge is paused; staff seeking alternate engineering grants
Summary
Town Manager Caleb Patterson said the federal Protect grant for the town's bridge project is paused pending federal budget review; the town will pursue PRT engineering grants and a DOLA-ready grant applied for by the manager to update the marshal's office as an economic-development opportunity.
Town Manager Caleb Patterson told the board that the federal Protect grant the town expected for its bridge project is currently paused while federal programs are reviewed, and staff will pursue other grant options in the near term.
"For those listening, the Protect grant was a, you know, $8,000,000 project for our bridge down here," Patterson said, explaining why the town is applying for alternative grants and engineering funds. Patterson also discussed a DOLA "Ready" grant application for roughly $100,000 that requires a 20% match; he said he applied to the Kirkpatrick Family Fund for $15,000 to reduce the town's match to about $5,000 if approved.
