Margaretville to seek $50,000 study to address water issues on Swart and Orchard Streets
Summary
The board discussed an LFA that identified issues near Swart and Orchard Streets and agreed to pursue a $50,000 study through Southern Tier 8 with a required local match of $5,000 (10%), although the match is not in this year's budget.
The board reviewed findings from a Local Flood Analysis (LFA) that identified work needed on water issues around Swart and Orchard Streets and agreed to pursue a $50,000 grant study through Southern Tier 8, with a $5,000 local match (10%).
Officials noted the $5,000 match would not be included in the current year's budget and would require additional board action to commit funds. The grant would pay for a study to scope and plan remediation; no contractor or timeline was decided on March 24.
Trustees endorsed moving forward with an application but did not adopt a binding commitment of local matching funds at the meeting; next steps include the grant application and later budgetary decisions if the grant is awarded.
