Trail Center Progress: ▪ Building Permit received, NO CHARGE! ▪ The road is 90% completed. Working to get utilities, Power, Water, Sewer, permits. ▪ Need to obtain easement from neighbor across street for utility pole guy wire support. ▪ Hashing out procurement process with MATC “supplied items”, ie kitchen, bath, lighting, water heaters with contractor and architects. ▪ Planning small informal groundbreaking 5/22, 23, or 24, no media. Our driveway is named “ Maine Trail Center Drive .” The Main Building is #45 . The crew quarters are #54 and #55 . The federal budget was finally signed, making the Collins/King CDS grant of $475,000 a potential reality. At this writing we await contact from HUD to begin the process of identifying and undertaking the many procedural requirements to utilize the grant monies. With our project already well underway, we have a lot of questions for HUD.
