Council discusses limited paving this year and explores grant options for airport sealcoat
Summary
Council heard an update that major sealcoating didn't occur this year and that only minimal paving or rejuvenator spray is expected; they asked the airport board to research sealcoat feasibility and grant options for runway maintenance.
The chair told the council that large-scale pavement work will be limited this year: sealcoating did not happen and the town expects only minimal paving or use of a rejuvenator spray. He said recent inspections show roads are in better shape than expected but that the airport runway/taxiway is aging and may require a full seal coat; he recommended the airport board research regulatory constraints and possible grant funding.
Council members agreed to investigate grant opportunities to fund more substantial pavement work and asked staff and the airport board to look into whether sealcoat is allowed for the runway surface and to return with cost estimates and grant prospects.
