Good afternoon,

 

I hope everyone is doing well. I am pleased to be reaching out with the news that Templeton has been awarded in the FY25 round of the Community One Stop for Growth Grant Program. For context, this past June I submitted an application specifically to the Rural Development Fund for all costs associated with the design and engineering of the rehabilitation of all 3.9 miles of Barre Road. As shown in the attached award letter, we were lucky enough to be awarded $290,000 through the program, which will cover approximately 96% of Tighe & Bond’s proposed costs.

 

Currently, I am working with the Town Administrator as well as the Office of Rural Affair to iron out any and all project specifics prior to executing the grant contract. By the time my next quarterly report comes around, which I believe will be on the 11/6/24 Select Board Meeting, I should have a more substantial update on the project’s status and hopefully even more good new to share.

 

Thank you all for your support, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.

 

Thank you,

 

Gracelyn P. Currie
