📰 News we're reading

• Hardwick Rejects $8.2M Fixed FEMA Offer for Wastewater Plant (northstarmonthly.com) — Hardwick’s Select Board has rejected a fixed $8.2 million FEMA offer to repair the town’s flood-damaged wastewater treatment plant, opting instead for a reimbursement-based program that could cover up to 90% of eligible costs. Officials say this route offers stronger protection if construction expenses rise, though it comes with more paperwork and less flexibility as design and long-term solutions are developed.
