Cobble Road culvert funding extended after estimated costs climb to $1.165 million
Summary
The Board of Selectmen extended town matching funds for the Cobble Road culvert after project estimates rose from $734,400 to $1,164,700; the town holds $400,000 in matching funds and a joint engineer meeting is set for mid‑March.
First Selectman David Barger reported that funds for the Cobble Road culvert have been extended for another year and that town-held matching funds total $400,000. Project cost estimates increased from $734,400 to $1,164,700, prompting a planning meeting with engineers and finance officials.
The board agreed to schedule a joint public meeting in mid‑March with the Boards of Finance and Selectmen, the Infrastructure Committee and Cardinal Engineering to review bridge projects; the minutes note the meeting will cover all bridge projects except Cobble Road, which is already in the design phase. Selectmen discussed sequencing the culvert work alongside the larger Hollenbeck River bridge and flagged the need for clearer grant-balance information at the upcoming engineer sessions.
