Council approved Resolution 2026‑01 authorizing submission of an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) grant program to fund preliminary engineering for Main Street reconstruction tied to the Old Seabrook livability study. Staff told council the grant request is intended to fund the engineering phase and that right‑of‑way and drainage acquisition challenges make the overall project sizable.
Gail (staff) said the city’s grant writer found the opportunity and that the EDC has committed to a 20% local match of $200,000. "We're estimating with some of the right‑of‑way acquisition and challenges for drainage, the design portion to be about a million dollars," Gail said, and council voted unanimously to approve the resolution and the local match commitment.
