From the meeting
At the October 14, 2026 meeting, Larissa Thomas raised a grant for rural fire departments covering training and equipment related to fighting wildfires. She had contacted the town's fire chief, who said the grant could be useful for equipment the department does not currently have. The proposal requires a 50% match, and Thomas asked whether the Conservation Commission would help meet that match; there was no objection.
She said she would meet with the chief and that the proposal is due in December.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
