FARMINGTON Selectmen Tuesday, July 27, discussed possible uses for American Rescue Plan Act funds that will be coming to the town.
There are a lot of moving parts to this, Town Manager Richard Davis said. He spoke of a meeting held with other municipal officials and county commissioners earlier that day as the county will also be getting funds to use throughout the county.
Half of the town’s $819,740 allocation should arrive in August, Davis said. A report must be submitted in October saying the money was received and providing plans for its use, he noted.
“We need to obligate the money by 2024, spend it by 2026,” Davis said. “The state is still working on the rules. There’s a public input process we need to follow, need a town meeting vote to spend the funds.”

FARMINGTON After a lengthy discussion, selectpersons voted three to two to approve the installation of two signs on Bailey Hill Road and have the town’s attorney draft a liability waiver for the signs.
A motion was first made to erect School Bus Stop signs while the town’s attorney was consulted and Selectman Scott Landry, who is a state legislative representative, checked out what could be done at the state level.
Town Manager Richard Davis then said to put up the requested signs and draft the liability waiver to not prolong the issue.
Selectman Joshua Bell and Chairman Matthew Smith were opposed to the second motion. Selectmen Stephan Bunker, Michael Fogg and Scott Landry were in favor.
