Canton reports $1,000,000 HB259 installment and $1.75 million for wastewater project

Manager Scheuer reported during the March 14 meeting that the town had received the first $1,000,000 installment tied to HB259 and that Senator Chuck Edwards helped secure an additional $1,750,000 to supplement Canton's wastewater treatment project.

"The Town had received the first installment of $1,000,000.00 for HB259 which would be moved into investments," Manager Scheuer said, and he credited Senator Chuck Edwards for assisting in obtaining the wastewater funds.

Scheuer described the senator as "supportive of the Town" and said the $1.75 million would be added to the town's wastewater treatment project budget. The board did not make a separate formal motion to accept these funds during the meeting; Scheuer presented the receipts as part of the manager's report. Officials did not provide further line‑item allocations at the meeting.
