Lincoln shares in $50,000 grant

Lincoln and 11 other area towns have been awarded a $50,000 state grant to help devise a regional approach to complying with stormwater drainage rules. The funding is part of $1 million in Community Compact grants recently announced for efficiency and regionalization efforts in 72 municipalities and 10 school districts. Earlier this month, Lincoln formally joined the Community Compact program, which offers technical and grant assistance for water resource management, housing and economic development, and business continuity projects.
