Commission backs staff to collect letters of support for municipal grant applications

Commissioners discussed a municipal grant application and the need for letters of support from local institutions, including the golf course, the church, the library and the school. One commissioner noted the select board had already signed the necessary materials and another said a template letter had been provided to make it easy for community organizations to send support.

Members agreed that more letters would make the town more competitive for the grant and that staff will circulate a template and follow up with institutional contacts. One commissioner offered to draft or gather additional letters and asked staff to copy the template for distribution.
