The Kent Streetscape Project- an update
Click on Town logo above for full resolution
· The May 16 referendum vote is your opportunity to formally weigh in on whether the Streetscape Project is something you want the Town to spend money on.
· The referendum vote is YES or NO on a funding resolution,
not
on materials,scope of project,etc.
· If the resolution passes, it allows the Town to contract for the creation of a
Plan/Specs
. A YES vote on the bond resolution will allow us to get
Plan/Specs
to bring to you with all the details including construction materials and scope of project.
· The
Plan/Specs
take between five and six months to complete and about half way through the process decisions regarding materials and scope of project need to be finalized.
· At least one additional Town Meeting will be convened to secure final taxpayer approval of the
Plan/Specs
before the project is put out to bid.
· This process has been compared to getting pre-approved for financing before purchasing a house. If you see it and don't like it then no sidewalks and only a nominal amount will have been expended.
