Grant FundingInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected Jul 14, 2026

In the April 14, 2026 Town Manager report, Raymond is pursuing a grant for a feasibility study to extend public water service along the Route 302 corridor. If funded, the study would also support water infrastructure upgrades and road improvements. This is early-stage planning tied to growth and resilience, giving engineering, planning, and funding advisory firms a chance to help design the study and later deliver infrastructure projects along 302.

Public water extension is mentioned alongside micro-transit, culvert replacement, and resilience grants as part of broader corridor improvements.
