Construction Grant Award for Green Hill Pond Watershed
Town of South Kingstown
Friends of Green Hill Pond |
The
design work and permitting for the structures has been ongoing for more than
two years with much of the funding coming from SNEP and the Narragansett Bay
Estuaries Program (NBEP).
Our
partner, Friends of Green Hill Pond, have been very supportive and have
contributed financially to help with the required matching funds. The
survey, engineering and permit oversight was performed by Woodard & Curran.
With matching funds, there is approximately $330,000 available for construction. The work will go out for a public bid to qualified contractors over the next month and an award is expected in November. The work for the new structure will begin in the spring and should take approximately three months to complete.
SNEP
and NBEP have been invaluable to our most critically sensitive environments and
this newly provided funding will help to see this project through completion.
Should you wish to learn more about these organizations, please
