Town to sign VTrans project commitment for East Hill Road culvert scoping study; $48,000 state share

Townshend Select Board · April 14, 2026

Summary

The Select Board authorized Nick to sign a VTrans project-commitment form for a municipal stormwater scoping study for East Hill Road culverts; the award is for $48,000 (VTrans) with a $12,000 town match on a $60,000 project.

The Townshend Select Board approved a project-commitment form April 14 for a VTrans municipal stormwater scoping study named the East Hill Road Culvert Scoping Study. The grant award reported at the meeting indicated a $60,000 project with VTrans covering $48,000 and the town responsible for a $12,000 match. Colin from Windham Regional, who helped with the application, told the board the paperwork may take eight months or longer as VTrans finalizes the larger grant agreement.

Board members debated which culvert should be prioritized for repair; a road foreman suggested focusing on the culvert below Holt Farm because it has repeatedly undermined East Hill Road. The board moved and approved authorizing Nick to sign the project-commitment form so the town can proceed in VTrans' process.
