The grant is intended for use to develop a Housing Rehabilitation program for low to moderate income residents with program monitoring and administration support. Grant funds would help to relieve the financial burden to low - and -moderate income residents for the upcoming lateral connection of the sewer main to their homes. Assistance for the grant application was duly advertised, and three consulting firms were solicited. The Town did not receive any responses as the firms have current and planned commitments. Many consultants retain their communities and commit for many years in advance. Mr. Lehrer explained that currently his department has limited time to achieve a successful grant application for submission. With the Select Board's approval he would seek to retain other consultants. An additional consultant has been identified. However, no supplemental information has been provided to initiate contact. Selectman Michaela Wyman -Colombo offered her services to the Town as a resident to assist with the grant application, and to establish the Town of Mashpee with the funding agency.
