Richland awaits state salt-shed grant; ARPA funds to cover most water-tank repairs
Summary
The Board reported a pending state grant for a salt shed (~$164,000) and authorized use of ARPA funds to cover nearly all repairs on an aging water tank (estimated cost $208,000; about $8,000 remaining local share).
Town officials told the Board the Town is awaiting the state's final salt-shed grant contract (approximately $164,000) and noted that DEC standards apply to the project. Separately, the Board was informed that one of the town's water tanks requires substantial repairs estimated at about $208,000; ARPA funding will cover the work except for roughly $8,000.
The Board discussed grant conditions and DEC code requirements that must be met for the salt-shed grant to be awarded and confirmed that previous tank inspections (2023 and 2024) had been submitted to the county. No formal vote to expend funds was recorded at the meeting beyond noting ARPA coverage and the small local share to be addressed.
