Council allocates $349,236 for Northeast Revitalization Project to finish sidewalks, drainage and demolition
Summary
Council approved a $349,236.23 grant-funded appropriation to complete outstanding work in the Northeast Revitalization Project, including a Pine Street sidewalk, ditch and drainage repairs, and demolition of one or two homes; staff confirmed work is paid and reimbursed.
The Onancock Town Council approved an amendment recognizing remaining grant funding and appropriating $349,236.23 for the Northeast Revitalization Project to complete remaining work.
Town staff said the remaining work includes installing a sidewalk on Pine Street, carrying out neighborhood ditch and drainage work, and demolishing one or two remaining homes. "The 2nd amendment recognizes the remaining grant funding for the Northeast revitalization project and provides the corresponding expenditure appropriation to complete the unfinished work," the town manager said.
Councilors asked whether the project is reimbursement-based and whether reimbursement is prompt; staff confirmed the town pays bills then files for reimbursement and said reimbursement has been relatively quick in practice. The appropriation passed on a voice vote; a council member later noted a newly arrived member, Sarah Naka, voted aye as she joined the meeting.
