Future road funding for towns was one of the main topics. Mr. Brixy was told that in the past, each year the Towns Association lobbied for more funding per road mile for all Towns in the state. There was a large increase in this last budget, but that’s not the direction it appears that the State wants to go in the future. The state is looking for Towns to use LRIP and ARIP for road repairs. Mr. Brixy’s suggestion is to set up a “sinking fund”, to set aside moneys to apply for LRIP or ARIP projects in the future. Discussion followed. No action taken.
