Summary

Town staff told the Select Board the town is due approximately $226,000 in state winter-recovery assistance; the board tentatively earmarked $9,700 for a library apron, $90,000 for paving and $117,000 to FY27 snow-and-ice funds pending state confirmation.

Town staff said Townsend is slated to receive about $226,000 from a state winter-recovery assistance program and proposed how to allocate the funds across near-term infrastructure needs. The board voted to earmark $9,700 for replacement of a concrete apron at the library, approximately $90,000 to highway paving, and the remaining roughly $117,000 for the FY27 snow-and-ice budget, noting the plan is contingent on final confirmation from the state.

The TA described conversations with the highway superintendent and a local contractor who estimated the library concrete repair at about $9,700. The board emphasized the allocation is a recommendation pending the state's final confirmation of award and will be adjusted if the confirmed amount differs.
