Town officials propose spending the more than $4.3 million the town is receiving in American Rescue Plan funding on a sewer project, sidewalk, computer software and more. The money is part of the overall $1.7 trillion federal package President Joe Biden signed in March of this year to help states and municipalities deal with public health and economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ledyard Mayor Fred Allyn III and Bill Saums, chairman of the Town Council’s Finance Committee, unveiled a proposal to the council that totals more than $3.8 million and includes money for extensive sewer line extensions and improvements that town officials have discussed for a long time. Ledyard has until the end of 2024 to finalize spending proposals and sign any necessary contracts with developers. All work must be completed by the end of 2026.
