Other/Follow up from the board

Selectman Caplain – bike community initiative – working on grant in conjunction with Angela McShane with safe routes to school – no 501c at this point but reached out to BTA, Parker, and Franconia Bike group. Not sure if that is best route or partnering with municipalities – $1m grant to finish all trails and building – would board consider being partner if needed?
