Select Board asks WRC to set hearing and clear town plan so Jamaica can pursue up to $65,000 grant
Summary
The board voted to ask the regional commission (WRC) to review and set a hearing on Jamaica’s town plan so the town can complete required certification and proceed with a municipal planning grant application (up to $65,000).
The board moved to ask the Wyndham regional body to accept Jamaica’s certified town plan for review and to set a hearing date, steps the town must complete before applying for a municipal planning grant. Tom told the board that the town plan’s certification process had been interrupted during staff transitions and that the town clerk must verify the required hearings and notices before WRC can approve it.
The chair read draft resolution language describing the town’s intent to apply for funds under the fiscal‑year 27 budget act and to commit to matching funds and long‑term lease terms if the JDS school grant is awarded. She said the town will designate an authorizing official and a grant administrator to manage any award. The board approved a motion to ask WRC to review and set a hearing date so the town can become eligible to apply for up to $65,000 in municipal planning funds; the motion passed by voice vote.
Board members asked staff to verify that the clerk will certify the plan at a Thursday meeting and to return with a timetable so WRC can be asked to set a hearing within the statutory notice period.
