Tudor, 828-5249. Applications were due
on April 30, 2010. For competitive
criteria, please refer to the Program
Description.
Begin the application process
by taking the following steps:
1) Review the Program
Description to determine the eligibility of
your town and project. Pay special attention to the competitive
criteria and statewide priorities in determining if your project
is a good candidate for funding through this program.
2) Meet with your local selectboard,
planning commission, and other entities to discuss and agree
on a project. Municipal organizations other than the planning
commission (e.g. conservation commission) may apply but must
have approval from both the planning commission and selectboard.
3) Review the application
questions using the Sample
Application. Develop a work plan and budget for your project
with input from your regional planning commission (RPC) and/or
a private consultant.
4) Write any "essay" responses
to the application questions in a word processing document.
Responses can later be pasted into the online application.
5) Review
the Roles and determine who will fill those
roles from your municipality.
6) Create a new user account
on the system following the instructions provided on the
log
in page. If you already have an account, log in and update
any info that may have changed.
7) New Authorizing
Official(s) will need to create a new user account on
the site and obtain the necessary validation by calling 802-828-5249
during business hours.
8) Training - Sign up for one
of the optional online application trainings if you need assistance
with the online application.
