The Town of Hamlet has officially accepted almost $258,000 in Community Crossings grant funding. Town officials signed the grant paperwork during Wednesday’s town council meeting.
Plans call for work on Railroad Street west of Starke Street. The project will include widening the pavement to a consistent width, along with some drainage work. The grant will cover 75 percent of the cost. Sidewalks will not be part of the project, but could be done in the future.
Council members say their next step will be to continue working with engineer Lee Nagai to finalize the project details. They pointed out that they received the full grant amount they’d requested.
