Message from Sheriff Dept.

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Over the last week or so, Rutland County Sheriff Dept has handled several burglary complaints targeting businesses and job trailers. The target of choice for this group is copper and power tools. There are persons of interest in these cases and Deputies are actively working the cases to hopefully make arrests in these cases. Please make sure to spread the word within your towns in order to make sure things are locked up. If you have job trailers etc. It might not be a bad idea to get some kind of surveillance on them in the form of trail cameras. I just wanted to make towns aware of the recent cases in order to take proactive measures. We believe the same suspects are responsible for the recent three cases in Proctor and Clarendon. In one of those cases a vehicle was taken and later recovered. Lt. James Bennick RC5 Rutland County Sheriff’s Department 88 Grove Street (Po Box 303) Rutland, VT 05701 Cell: 802-342-0067 Dispatch: 802-775-8002 Email: james.bennick@vermont.gov

ARPA

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) included $350 billion in pandemic-related aid for state and local governments. Vermont will receive more than $1.25 billion of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funding from ARPA. While the Legislature and the Governor will determine how more than $1 billion of that funding will be spent, Congress directed nearly $200 million of that funding directly to Vermont’s cities, towns, and villages. City Councils and Select Boards will have discretion over how to spend their allocations.

The Town of Wallingford will be receiving $204,000 over two years. To gather input from residents, the Wallingford Selectboard has scheduled a public forum on Wednesday, September 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Wallingford Town Hall. Please attend to share your input or email townadmin@wallingfordvt.com with suggestions.

ARPA includes four broad criteria outlining eligible uses:

  • To respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality;
  • To respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers;
  • For the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID–19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency; and
  • To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.
