D
Because
just
gonna
say
that
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
So
this
is
money,
that's
coming
out
after
the
effects
of
cobit
to
help
with
the
recovery
and
building
back
better
efforts.
So
gratton
has
been
awarded
approximately
8.5
million
dollars.
That
is
going
to
be
given
to
us
in
what
they
call
two
tranches.
So
we've
already
gotten
the
first
tranche
of
money,
which
is
about
four
and
change
and
then
we'll
get
another
four
million
dollars
over
the
course
the
next
couple
of
years.
D
The
long-term
recovery
committee
and
obds,
the
planning
and
development
services
we're
engaging
in
the
public
in
on
ideas
to
seek
feedback
through
an
online
platform
and
we're
putting
out
newspaper
articles
shortly
and
we'll
also
be
setting
up
standalone
kiosks,
dedicated
computers.
Where
people
can
you
use
the
survey
materials
online
at
the
senior
center
and
the
community.
D
I
think
the
library,
the
senior
center
and
the
community
center
are
being
discussed,
so
we
haven't
decided
on
where
yet,
but
we
will
be
doing
that.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
very
robust
engagement
campaign,
so
you'll
see
a
lot
of
information
coming
out
about
that.
It's
called
greater
groton.
It's
part
of
our
new
engagement
platform
called
greater
gratin,
where
we
really
hope
to
get
people
talking
not
on
a
facebook
type
level,
but
more
effectively
towards
solutions.
D
Wonderful
from
that,
so
under
the
arpa
piece,
once
we
have
all
of
those
ideas
about
proposed
projects,
then
they'll
be
voted
on
and
prioritized
for
what
we're
calling
buckets
of
funding
and
so
then,
from
those
buckets
of
funding,
we're
going
to
release,
grant
applications.
So
folks
on
non-profit
groups,
businesses
impacted
can
submit
their
applications
for
for
funding
under
those
buckets.
So
that's
all
coming
up
in
the
next
few
months,
so
stay
tuned.
C
A
D
Correct
so
we're,
actually,
you
have
one
application
and
department.
Heads
are
also
submitting
their
ideas
because
we,
this
funding,
can
can
cover.
You
know
anything
from
buying
more
masks
and
gloves
to
infrastructure
needs
for
water.
Water
and
broadband
are
prioritized
for
infrastructure,
so
those
things
are
much
more
expensive,
as
you
know,
and
we'll
have
to
develop
priorities
with
the
long-term
recovery
committee.
D
All
right,
so,
yes,
any
questions
forward
on
my
way
on
that
other
things
we're
working
on
still
as
usual,
camering
away
on
the
2019
small
cities
covet
grant.
That's
the
mystic
river
homes,
as
you
all
came
in
toward
the
facility,
which
was
great
they're
about
a
third
of
the
way
done
with
the
mini
splits
right
now,
and
the
next
bid
is
going
to
include
some
dumpster
screening
and
repair
plumbing
repair.
D
The
ada
upgrades
to
toilets,
and
things
like
that.
That
andy
talked
about
on
our
tour,
the
beauty,
parlor
and
moving
that,
as
he
said,
to
the
carpentry
shop
and
handrails
in
the
hallways
and
park
it
carpets
and
and
the
new
pergola.
So
there's
still
quite
a
bit
of
work
to
be
done,
probably
through
the
end
of
the
year,
if
not
longer
than
that.
A
Marge,
you
might
need
to
mute
yourself
if
that's
possible,
just
because
we're
still
hearing
whatever
you're
listening
to
in
the
background.
Oh
thank
you.
Do
you
have
the
tv
on
or
something
yeah?
I
do
yeah
it's
a
little
disturbing.
If
you
can
either
turn
the
volume
down
on
that
or
mute
yours,
I
don't
know
if
you
can
mute
yourself
on
the
phone,
but
okay.
A
C
A
Yes,
sir,
okay,
yes,
it
is.
Thank
you
all
right,
that's
okay!
So
the
other
thing
is
just
tabitha
for
us
to
mention
for
marge
and
scott
who
were
not
able
to
join
us
that
we
did
do
a
tour.
You
did
set
up
the
tours
at
mystic
river
homes
and
the
groton
housing
authority,
maria
and
I
were
able
to
go
on
those.
B
A
A
B
D
B
B
I
think
tabitha
has
it
because
I've
received
mails
about
the
last
meeting
from
her,
but
lauren
sent
the
notice
out
for
this
meeting
and
it
went
to
and
she
had
the
the
norcheck
meeting
for
that.
But
the
actual
link
did
not
go
to
the
new
email.
They
went
to
the
old
one
and
she
has
since
said
she's
going
to
eliminate
the
older
one.
D
B
A
Appropriate
see
if
there's
a
button
somewhere
on
your
screen.
That
says
something
about
video
and
it
might
have
a
line
through
it
or
because
mine
has
a
thing
that
says,
stop
video
and
if
I
touch
it,
then
the
video
activates,
of
course,
I'm
on
an
ipad.
It's
a
touch
screen.
Yours
could
be
totally
different,
but
anyway,
I'm
sorry.
If
the
invitation
for
the
tour
didn't
get
to
you,
scott,
I
I
wondered
when
you
weren't
there,
because
I
knew
you
would
have
been
interested
and
wanted
to
go
on
the
tours.
B
A
A
C
A
A
B
A
C
B
A
D
Now
we
named
specific
projects,
we
are
limited
to
certain
types
of
projects
because
we're
they
call
it
a
non-entitlement
community.
So
we
don't
get
like
you
just
said.
Is
it
calculated
and
they
give
us
money?
That's
that's
an
entitlement
community
like
new
london.
They
get
a
lot
more
funding
and
they're
allowed
to
do
a
lot
more
with
it.
Of
course
they
have
a
bigger
issue
there,
so
a
bigger
need.
So
we
we
get
a
smaller
amount
of
money,
but
we
also,
I
think,
we're
limited
to
housing
projects.
A
C
A
So,
and
then
the
second
pot
of
cdbg
money
we're
eligible
for
is
the
housing
rehabilitation
money
right,
which
you'll
talk
about
in
a
minute
but
yeah.
So
there's
there's
not
other
cdbg
funding
scott,
unfortunately,
that
groton's
eligible
for
norwich,
new
london
they
get
more
and
they
are
able
to
fund
other
kinds
of
community
projects.
B
B
D
A
Yeah
they
are
yeah
and
they
also.
The
two
questions
I
had
would
have
is
the
cdbg
money
that
we
get
are
or
would
we
be
allowed
to
spend
the
money
on
that
or
is
the?
Are
we
limited
to
simply
spending
it
on
low-income
housing?
So
that's
one
question
that
would
have
to
be
answered
up
until
now.
My
understanding
has
been.
We
can
only
spend
it
on
low
income
housing,
but
that's
a
question
but.
B
B
D
A
Exactly
exactly
so,
that's
one
question
is:
could
we
use
the
funding
to
do
that
sort
of
thing
and
then
the
other
question
we
have
to
consider
and
be
careful
of
is
in
the
town,
the
decision-making
process,
for
something
like
that?
A
proposal
like
that
about
spicer
house
yeah,
who
had
whose
jurisdiction
is
that
is
that
the
town
council's
jurisdiction
is
that
plannings
juris
you
know,
planning
and
zone,
is
that
our
jurisdiction.
A
A
C
D
I
would
I
would
like
to
put
my
head
to
it
and
take
a
look
at
eligibility
and
who
might
be
involved
like
you
said
what
department
might
lead
that
it,
the
timeline
would
be
tricky
on
it.
Given
you
know,
you
have
people
vacating,
but
I'm
happy
to
look
into
it
and
get
back
to
all
of
you
via
email,
because
our
next.
B
B
A
D
Yep,
so
we're
working
with
one
client
and
her
repairs,
her
roof
repair,
siding
repairs.
Our
consultant
went
out
and
talked
to
her
yesterday
about
her
eligibility
requirements
and
there's
just
some
paperwork
still.
That
is
we're
working
on,
but
I
did
talk
to
the
consultant
about
if
we
can
get
a
couple
more
cases
going,
because
we
just
had
this
one
case
that
we
were
processing
and
it
looks
like
we
can
look
at
because
we've
gotten
some
checks
back
from
mortgages
and
our
fund
is
up
to
200
000
now,
so
we
can
whoa.
B
Was
there
any
progress
in
putting
out
more
public
information
so
that
they
could
pick
it
up
either
at
the
library
or
the
or
through
the
agencies,
the
town
agencies,
because
it
seems
like
we're?
I
know
it
takes
a
long
time
to
process
an
application,
but
we're
not
able
to
get
any
more
funding
if
we
keep
it
building
rather
than
you
know
what
I
mean.
D
But
we
do
have
the
applications
here
at
the
annex
and
we
have
them
at
town
hall.
We
could
do
something
at
the
library.
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
a
woman,
diane
boduk.
I
think
her
name
was
and
she
was
asking
about
mobile
homes
and
if
they
were
eligible
and
yes,
they
are
eligible,
but
it's
not
widely
known.
So
she
was
going
to
speak
to
some
folks
that
she
knew
who
might
need
work
done.
So
I
gave
her
the
application
to
make
copies
of
local.
B
D
D
D
D
D
B
A
B
C
B
D
A
Yeah,
I
think
the
other
issue,
scott,
with
our
health,
helping
I
mean,
there's
confidentiality,
issues
around
people
applying
and
the
information
they
have
to
provide.
So
I
can
understand
why
probably
not
appropriate
for
us
to
be
involved
at
that
level,
but
so
six
applications.
Each
application
can
receive
up
to
thirty
thousand
thirty
thousand
and
we
have
two
hundred
thousand
available.
C
D
C
A
A
A
A
D
A
D
D
D
D
B
B
A
I
I
think,
that's
been
deferred
another
year
because
of
kovid,
but
so
so
you're
partly
saying
to
us.
If
we
know
of
a
community
event,
that
would
be
a
good
place
to
distribute,
we
should
let
you
know,
send
you
an
idea,
yes,
or
if
we
have
an
idea
about
about
creating
an
event
to
distribute.
We
should
let
you
know
yes,.
D
D
D
A
C
A
A
C
A
B
A
B
A
B
A
C
A
D
D
A
D
Yeah,
so
we
actually,
we
put
together
a
housing
study
that
was
just
pie
in
the
sky,
all
housing
as
well
with
a
different
consultant.
So
those
two
reports
kind
of
came
to
us
the
same
time,
and
there
was
some
there
was
a
lot
of
numbers
in
them
and
some
of
the
data
wasn't
quite
syncing
up.
So
we
had
to
go
back
and
re-draft
things
with
their
consultants
a
bit,
but
I
think
we
should
be
completed
with
those
edits.
