With a number of competitive and impactful applications, the grant committee had the difficult task of scoring, according to a press release, eventually selecting the two awardees from the 18 submitted applications.
For an application to be considered it had to benefit the community in one of six areas: Stewardship of the environment, enhance the natural beauty of the town, provide public enjoyment, support healthy lifestyles, support human services, and/or provide educational opportunities.
The criteria those applications were further judged upon included the overall impact of the project/program with regard to how it enriches the community at large and how it addresses human and environmental challenges and/or opportunities.
The Town and Republic Services expressed their appreciation to all the community non-profit organizations that applied, with the Town adding it looks forward to continuing this program next year with support from Republic Services.
