Downtown Partnership meeting Thursday morning
The PWED project will be more under the Town control, they will be issuing the contracts vs. the fuller project will have more MA government agency involvement and a longer review period
.
Applied for the 10 million grant, received 5 million, actually getting one million per year and it is all in our account now.
The PWED grant was applied for multiple times and ultimately awarded recently.
All the work, except for the water main is covered by Federal and State grants. The water main was part of our cycle and timed to occur now.
If the utilities were to move underground, that would be funded separately.
