Hague board backs multiple grant efforts: culvert inventory, salt-shed application, Hague Brook study, and community-center grant filings
Summary
The Town of Hague authorized participation in a Warren County culvert inventory grant, advanced a salt-shed grant application with a 25% local match estimated at $53,750, endorsed a $50,000 study of the Hague Brook outlet with a $5,000 town contribution if funded, and approved $3,000 for grant-application preparation (LWRP/BRICS).
The Town of Hague Board moved forward on several infrastructure and planning grant efforts during the meeting. The board agreed to support Warren County's application to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (Climate Smart Communities) program for a municipal culvert inventory and assessment; the Chair said the town's local match would be about $6,250 (the transcript also contained inconsistent figures for the match). Board members asked operational questions about GPS location and data collection and assigned a highway contact to coordinate.
Separately, the board authorized the Warren County Planning Department to assist in a salt-shed grant application. The Chair cited an estimated total project cost of $268,750, a requested award amount of $215,000, and a required town local match of $53,750 (25% estimate). The board discussed the estimate and acknowledged the highway department's role in preparing figures.
The board also advanced a proposed study of the outlet of Hague Brook (transcript estimate: $50,000) with a potential Town contribution of $5,000 if the grant is awarded. Finally, the board authorized up to $3,000 to prepare a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) update and a BRICS community-center grant application; the Chair said $2,500 and $500 were the approximate application-preparation breakdown presented. The LWRP public meeting for the comp-plan update and visitor center was set for 07/10/2025 at 6 p.m. at the community center.
"The total project will be $268,750," the Chair said while summarizing the salt-shed grant estimate. Board members voted in favor of pursuing the applications and committing local match funds where noted.
