Board says it is pursuing Hay Brook inland waterway designation to unlock grant help for upstream problems
Summary
Residents urged action on a retention pond and debris in Hay Brook; the board said it passed a resolution seeking inland waterway designation to access grant funding and expects an LGA site visit on June 20.
Residents used the privilege of the floor to press the board about a retention pond above the firehouse and long-untended debris in Hay Brook, saying the brook and a retention feature haven’t been maintained in years.
Chair (S1) said the board had passed a resolution supporting efforts to have Hay Brook designated an inland waterway to improve eligibility for grant funding and that the Local Government Accountability (LGA) group will do a site visit on June 20 to assess upstream options. The board also discussed potential dredging and grant paths and noted the process requires approvals from multiple state-level boards and committees.
