Village to pursue CDBG grant for Chatham Street water-main project after income survey shows eligibility
Summary
An income survey found the village qualifies for hardship points; the board plans an RFP for engineering and will apply for a CDBG grant to fund a roughly $200,000 8-inch water-main to improve fire protection and reduce breaks.
Chair (S1) reported that an income survey conducted by GB Industries showed the village qualifies for hardship points that will help when applying for grants, including a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The board discussed a planned Chatham Street project to install a new 8-inch water main, estimated at about $200,000, to enhance fire protection and reduce the frequency of water-main breaks.
The board agreed it must go out to bid for an engineering firm to prepare and submit the CDBG application; if the grant is awarded it would cover engineering costs and potentially construction. The chair said he planned to prepare an RFP over the next month and, if ready by the next meeting, the board could approve and send it out to solicit engineering proposals.
