Woodbury Select Board Accepts Two VTrans Engineering Grants, Appoints Fund Board

Other Committee · Meeting of June 9, 2026

HARDWICK — Woodbury Select Board accepts VTrans engineering grants and reappoints fund board members at June 9 meeting. The board unanimously authorized a town official to sign grant agreements from the Vermont Agency of Transportation covering design engineering for two deteriorating road assets: $5,400 for Church Street work (with a $600 town match) and $7,200 for Bailey Bridge Road (with an $800 match), for a total local obligation of roughly $1,400 this fiscal year. Bailey Bridge Road's culvert is rated poor, making it the board's stated priority, though a future construction project there poses an access challenge because no alternate road exists for residents.

The board also unanimously reappointed Robin Durkee, Alex Peltz, George Sawyer, Gary Smith, and Natalia Zong to the Woodbury Fund Board. Town Treasurer Jerome reported a general fund operating deficit of negative $73,235, offset by a $108,378 highway fund surplus, with unrestricted cash on hand at $378,010 — roughly $184,000 below the same period last year, primarily due to a recent truck purchase.
