Moving forward, the Town will begin to implement the eleven projects which will be accomplished over the next four years. This will include working with community partners to increase capacity for services, procuring contractors to design and build several of the construction projects, providing regular updates to the community on how projects are progressing, and offering opportunities for further input and engagement. The community input the Town received through this process also highlighted a number of other priorities for town residents. This feedback will be used to inform project prioritization and future funding decisions for the Town’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget process. The eleven projects funded through ARPA, along with continuous public involvement, will have a profound impact on our community for many decades to come.
