Background:
With the opening of the 2025 STEAP Grant Application Ledyard would like to submit its Grant Application to install the sewer line on Fairway Drive and Colby Drive. This is part of Phase II of the Ledyard Center Sewer Line Extension Project.
The Engineering and Design Work has is nearly done for Phase II of the Sewer Line Extension Project which included Fairway Drive and Colby Drive. Phase II for Fairway Drive and Colby Drive already had prospective commercial interests that were far along; and the owners/developers who have properties on Fairway Drive and Colby Drive would like to expand and build out if they had access to the sewer line
Habitat for Humanity has been given the Conover property which was is located on Colby Drive, and those detailed plans are well along for the construction of multi-family condominiums at that location, including sewer line connection. The Habitat for Humanity homes would be paying to install grinder pumps at each location, and would pay to pump their sewage into the Town's system.
The STEAP Grant Application is for up-to $1 million and the deadline is February 20, 2025.
The preliminary engineer's estimate for installation of the sewer lines on Fairway Drive and Colby Drive is $610,000.
This STEAP Grant suggests a 20% or about 120,000 Town match. Source of funding for Local Town Match will be identified at a later time.
