\n\u2022 Porch Construction Status: preliminary approval completed for grant. The deadline for final application is the end of August. (Lengthy and time consuming process. Approved by 4cls and then to be approved by the state). The board needs to sign and approve the Assurances form (which was done during the meeting). We need to get a building permit completed for the town. Jenn has more questions she will ask the town for clarity. The board will require a written contract by the building contractor when the project is set to begin.
