Grant coordinator outlines multiple awards and UVM downtown transportation study
Summary
Townshend's grant coordinator reported multiple awards and pending agreements — including a $48,000 municipal stormwater mitigation grant and a $56,000 culvert upsizing award — and presented a no-cost UVM student transportation study covering sidewalks, crosswalks and parking.
Katie, the town's grant coordinator, summarized a mix of grant outcomes and next steps for engineering and environmental reviews. She said Townshend was not chosen this cycle for a congressionally directed project but that the senator's office offered technical support to strengthen next year's application. Katie listed awarded grants, including a $48,000 municipal-stormwater mitigation grant (match $12,000) and a $56,000 Better Roads culvert-upsize award (match ~$11,200), both pending grant agreements and environmental review.
Katie also presented a completed UVM capstone downtown transportation study that assessed sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting and intersection design and provided a multi-year cost analysis. "It was no cost to the town... it can inform our planning for several years," she said. The board discussed using the study to target grant applications and to coordinate with regional planning staff for implementation guidance.
