Highland Falls authorizes senior‑center ADA bid and renews grant‑writer contract
Summary
The board authorized the engineer to put senior‑center ADA parking improvements (paving, a retaining wall and ramp) out to bid for a $175,000 grant project and approved a renewal with Millennium Strategies for grant‑writing services at a not‑to‑exceed fee of $40,800.
Trustees authorized the village engineer to advertise bids for ADA parking improvements at the senior center, a project the mayor said is covered in part by a $175,000 grant and needs to be completed by October of the year. The work described is paving, a retaining wall and an access ramp; the board approved the motion on a voice vote after brief questions about scheduling and interactions with related projects.
Separately the board approved a contract renewal with Millennium Strategies for grant‑writing services at a fee "not to exceed" $40,800, a decrease from prior fees the mayor said he pressed for. The mayor told residents that, during the current contract period, Millennium helped secure $7.1 million in grant funding overall for the village and district and assisted on several pending applications. Trustees asked the mayor to follow up with the vendor on deliverables and to ensure the village receives regular updates on grant status.
