Board says OCCR requested meeting; engineers say meeting often signals grant progress for sewer project
Summary
The board reported that OCCR requested a meeting regarding the town's federal grant application; engineers and grant writers told the board that such a meeting is often a positive sign though funding is not guaranteed.
Chair S2 told the board the grantor (referred to as OCCR in the transcript) asked to meet on Wednesday regarding a federal grant the town applied for. S2 said engineers and grant-writers told the board that when a grantor requests a meeting, “that's good news because otherwise, they'll just support you,” though S2 cautioned that the meeting does not guarantee an award.
If the grant is awarded the board said it would proceed with the sewer/wastewater project. No award or funding amount was announced; S2 described the meeting request as conditional — a step in the review process, not a grant approval.
