From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, the council requested a $1,000,000 grant for the Step By Step Facility Modernization and Accessibility Improvement project. The work would fund second-floor renovations, restroom modernization, ADA accessibility improvements, lighting replacements, and electrical and building code upgrades at 744 Kidder Street. This is a pre-award funding action tied to a defined capital scope.
The next selling point is the eventual construction and renovation package if the grant is approved.
