Title: busy in Montpelier
Post by: Carolyn Branagan on July 25, 2007, 10:17:37 AM
I continue to go to the statehouse one or two days a week to get work completed during the off-season.

 District residents with expired orphan storm water permits will get a letter from me soon that may be helpful in acquiring a new permit.

And I was really glad to hear the Fairfax select board has submitted an application for a Transportation Enhancement Grant for sidewalks in the center of Fairfax village. These sidewalks are long overdue and are not only going to add convenience, but are a real safety 'must have'. The project was ranked number one by the local TAC, (thanks, Colleen!) so I think it has a good shot at getting some money. I'm doing what I can at the legislative level to try to move the grant along.   I contacted a number of legislators who sit on the grant committee and put in a good word. The grant committee meets in October, so it'll be a few weeks before we hear anything more.
