that’s all well and good, because we’d have two fields. The third option is we wait and do the Oval first. We should decide in the next month or two.” Still, even if the town succeeds in getting the CDBG cash, it will need a lot more dough to do the work, Santos said, since the total project cost has been estimated at $1,786,000. And the outlook for snagging the CDBG funding isn’t good, the mayor conceded. He said the expectation is that, given the full-court pressure by Republican legislators to button down federal spending, “the expectation is that Congress will reduce the pot of federal dollars available. We don’t know if [the CDBG allocation to counties] will be fully funded.” – Ron Leir Grace Sherwen Grace Sherwen (nee Broderick) died at home on March 23. She was 97.
