Council approves state grants for Elm Street improvements and Scott Reservoir dam design
Summary
Fitchburg approved two state grant orders: an MVP grant of approximately $143,970 for Elm Street pedestrian and GSI design and a Dam & Seawall Repair/Removal grant of approximately $250,000 for Scott Reservoir Dam design modifications; both orders were adopted.
The Council accepted Finance Committee recommendations to expend Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program funds in the approximate amount of $143,970 to complete design of pedestrian improvements and Green Stormwater Infrastructure along Elm Street (ORDER 202-25). The Council also approved a Dam & Seawall Repair or Removal Grant in the approximate amount of $250,000 to complete design modifications for the Scott Reservoir Dam (ORDER 203-25). Both orders were recorded as adopted by unanimous consent.
These grants fund design and planning work rather than construction; the transcript records the Council's formal approval of the expenditures and indicates that the orders were adopted by unanimous consent. The minutes show the Finance Committee read the report and the orders were accepted at the Jan. 6 meeting.
