The Town is required to cash flow all grant funded projects while ensuring that all our budgeted operational needs and unforeseen obligations are met. This means that we must be strategic with projects going forward. We are also obligated with many of our grants to match grant funds with a 25% share i.e.: we need to match every $1Million with $250,000.00.
We are bound to previously negotiated contracts for Water/Sewer and Civil Works and Garbage. We took the option of extending each of these contracts 2 years to provide economic stability to each company during COVID uncertainty.
