Green Communities to offer limited application support; Hadley committee told to prepare proposals

Agency official (S4) told the committee Green Communities can offer limited help for the competitive grant application — "literally about 10 hours" — and can help prepare the narrative and the required Table 4. S4 said the committee can begin soliciting proposals from vendors now but should not expect work to begin until formal approvals are in place.

Members discussed timing: S4 said the competitive round that would be possible for the town is the April round and that applicants typically have to have projects wrapped up by Feb. 12 to be eligible to submit. Chair (S1) asked for an amended opportunity notice to be circulated at the next meeting so the committee can review application requirements before starting vendor outreach.
