Trustees approve local-match assistance application for planned bridge project
Summary
Trustees authorized submission of a local match-assistance application tied to a federal Bridge Investment Program for a projected ~$3,000,000 bridge project; staff said the assistance grant is intended to serve as the required 10% local match and no additional local match is required for the application.
Town staff (speaker 6) explained a local match-assistance grant program intended to pair with the federal Bridge Investment Program for a likely $3,000,000 bridge project and said the program normally requires a 10% local match. "The Bridge Investment Program is a federal program, requires a 10% match on what we anticipate will likely be a $3,000,000 project," staff said, and then clarified the local match-assistance application itself does not require an additional local match because it is intended to provide that match.
Trustees asked about minimum award sizes and process timing; staff said the program managers have allowed awards below original minimums and that the town would account for any required local match in future budget amendments if the federal grant is awarded. The board voted to approve submission of the local match-assistance application.
