Barre officials seek $2 million CDBG for Water District 10 ahead of month-end deadline
Summary
The board discussed Water District 10's pending Community Development Block Grant claim and outreach to secure $2,000,000 before the application deadline at month's end; town will circulate a template letter to boost community support.
Town leaders said Water District 10 must finalize a CDBG claim before the end of the month and that they hope to secure $2,000,000 to help reduce costs for residents of the district. Chair Andrew said, "hopefully, we can get the $2,000,000 we're asking for because that'll really cushion the cost to the people in that water district."
Board members agreed to follow up with a template letter to solicit support. A committee member asked whether the town should circulate a model letter and the chair confirmed that would be handled by staff. Separately, a board member noted the comptroller recently granted expanded spending authority for Water District 10 after extensive documentation submissions, a procedural milestone for project financing and readiness.
