Gets Grant For Police Work The Associated Press MONTPELIER The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that Vermont law enforcement agencies will get federal grants totaling more than $1.1 million.

N.H.
Share Costs of Bridge The Associated Press MAIDSTONE New Hampshire and Vermont have agreed to share the costs of buying, repairing, and maintaining a Connecticut River bridge that has been closed since 1986. The 100-year-old MaidstoneStratford Hollow bridge will probably cost $1 million to repair. Under a plan that would use federal transportation funding, New Hampshire's Department of Transportation will do the work and be reimbursed by Vermont's Agency of Transportation. The work will upgrade the capacity of the wrought-iron, truss bridge from six tons to 15 tons. Constructed in 1893, the bridge was first closed in 1965 when the town of Stratford said it would cost too much to maintain.
It was later sold to the Maidstone Campowners Association. After that ownership change, neither Vermont nor New Hampshire would accept liability for repairing and reopening the bridge. But now the two states have agreed to share the cost.

Milton Receives $3 Million Grant for Sewers The Associated Press MILTON The town of Milton is set to receive $3 million in federal money to help the community expand its sewage treatment plant to handle the extra waste produced by a new factory being built there. The sewer project could cost $5 million to $10 million. Town officials will decide the size and scope of the expansion during a meeting Monday. The money is "a huge piece of what were trying to do" to expand the plant and create new jobs in town, said Select Board member Ken Nolan.
Officials will seek additional grants to pay for the upgrade, Nolan said. Residents likely will vote in April on whether the town should take out a loan for the balance of the cost. Congress approved the grant earlier this month. Town officials asked Sens. Patrick J.
Leahy, and James M. Jeffords, for help paying for the expansion last year, shortly after Husky Injection Molding Systems announced plans to build a plant near Arrowhead Lake. Husky will employ about 240 people in its first plant and hopes to increase its work force to 2,000 in 10 years. No water and sewer lines to the property are located off North Road. The Milton plant serves 600 mostly residential users and treats 225,000 gallons of wastewater a day.
It will be at its capacity when Husky opens its first building next year, said Town Manager Ted Nelson. The expanded plant will treat at least 1 million gallons a day and allow businesses and residents along the U.S. 7 corridor, including Catamount Industrial Park, to hook onto the system. Hunt said Milton's sewer rates could decline if more users hook onto the system. Milton has some of the highest sewer rates in the area, with a family of four paying about $520'a year.
In contrast, a family of four in Burlington pays about $368 a year.
