From the meeting
First Selectwoman Mahr said federal funding for the fire department sprinkler project remains uncertain because the continuing resolution did not include community-funded projects or congressionally directed spending. The town has a possible project cost of about $800,000 if outside money does not arrive. The funding decision is still open, and the town may need to cover the full amount itself.
