Town Manager Jim Drumm told the council the Coventry Village Water Tower Project has secured $2,000,000 from the state's bonding commission. The manager said the award will be paired with a $1,000,000 federal allocation obtained two years earlier, producing an estimated project budget of about $3,000,000.
Drumm said the council previously authorized planning funds and that the town engineer is preparing an RFP for engineering services. Because earlier budget constraints kept the project from being a near-term priority, the new funding has pushed it higher on the town's list; staff expect to complete site evaluation work and report progress next year.
