CAVENDISH, Vt. – The Cavendish ARPA committee was asked by the Cavendish Selectboard to recommend uses for the funds given to Cavendish under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The committee solicited input from the community via a questionnaire, and then sought project proposals for specific uses. The committee has received and is now considering applications from that preliminary round, which closed on Sept. 30.
The committee has announced that a final round of project proposal applications are due on or before Oct. 31. The ARPA Funds Application can be found on the home page of the Cavendish town website, under “Quick Links.” Completed forms can be emailed or mailed in accordance with instructions on the form.
Since the U.S. Treasury Department oversees how the funds are spent, and since that agency has placed time limits on spending the money, the committee expects to make recommendations to the selectboard before the end of this year.
