SPECIAL MEETING ITEM: ROUNDABOUT GRANT
The Town Board discussed the timing of a roundabout grant and the potential overlap
with the Madison Avenue project. Supervisor Elkind Eney then reviewed various grant
opportunities for the Town, including the Momentum Grant from Economic
Development in the Mid-Hudson Region. The Town Supervisor mentioned that in
certain situations, that any grant monies received could be added together to fund a
project.
Town Administrator Meredith Robson explained that grant administration and
compliance is a lot of work for various Town employees. The Town Administrator
noted that prices will go up, so to counteract that increase the Town tries to take
inflation into account and budget conservatively in their estimating.
The Town Board noted that the next step is to become a New York State Pro Housing
Community. The Town Board indicated that they intend to pass the requisite New
York State Pro Housing Community Resolution. The Town Supervisor and Town
Administrator will both attend an online presentation on the New York State Pro
Housing Community designation on the 31st. The Board then discussed the Town's
interest in developing affordable housing. All agreed the Town is moving in the right
direction.
