Mr. Hardenbrook stated the engineering costs would be $960,000. Councilmember Breidenstein asked when the grant would be awarded. Mr. Hardenbrook stated in December. Councilmember Robertson asked if NYS would be correcting the stormwater drainage as part of their project and if there would be an opportunity for the town to piggyback on this project. Mr. Hardenbrook stated that it is likely NYSDOT would correct drainage and does not think the town could piggyback on the project. Councilmember Sherman asked if we did not receive the grant, would the town have to decide about funding the project. Mr. Hardenbrook stated the town would need to decide how to proceed. Councilmember Sherman asked how the $6M amount was determined.
