Town manager outlines grants, CDOT funding and local projects
Summary
Town Manager Lisa briefed the council on pending hazard-mitigation work, federal funding funneled through CDOT, EIF grant opportunities, an asbestos abatement contract for a School Street property, and an approved duplex-preconstruction grant.
Town Manager Lisa told the council the certified local government board will pause major action until training is complete and that she is working with JEO Consulting and county partners to reinstate an expired hazard-mitigation plan. She said county staff asked for a quick certification turnaround and that staff will try to meet the requested schedule.
Lisa also relayed information about federal transportation funding: "the federal government told CDOT they had to spend, I think they said, $80,000,000 and they're gonna put some of that money into 01/3964," and she reported CDOT will be the implementing agency for some road work. She reviewed EIF funding tiers (a lower tier under $500,000 and an upper tier she estimated near $1,000,000) and urged teams to meet pre-application requirements. She said the town received a contract for asbestos abatement on a house on School Street and that a duplex project grant was approved for preconstruction work; the construction contract for the duplex will be pursued with additional grant support next year.
"We just received notification today that the duplex project was approved, the grant," Lisa said when announcing the housing grant approval. She told the council the asbestos contract is now in hand and property acquisition and purchasing processes are underway.
