3. Mac, Lisa, Ky, Laura and Carol discussed the replacement of the Chase Brook Bridge (next to the McCullough Barn) with the Selectboard. See McCullough Bridge Reconstruction document attached). Discussion included bridge material, labor, equipment, grants, other funding sources, timing of the rebuild, use of FNRC funds and possible future funding requirements.

The next steps are to obtain any permits necessary from the Town of Fayston Zoning Administrator. Then set/pour the concrete material on the other side of the brook before winter comes (The FNRC will contribute $200-$500 towards this material), and then sit tight until September to see if the grants come through.
