Town gets paving grants

NEWFANE — NEWFANE - To help pay for this year's re-paving projects, the Vermont Agency of Transportation recently awarded the town nearly $200,000 in grant money.

According to the Road Foreman's and Road Commissioner's Report presented at the May 16 regular Selectboard meeting, “We are getting $77,200 dollars for Auger Hole Road, and $116,000 for Dover Road."

The terms of the grant require the town to come up with 20 percent of the project's cost.

Administrative Assistant Shannon Meckle told The Commons in an email that the money comes from the yearly paving budget.
