The town of Beals now has sufficient grant money in hand to proceed with expansion at the marina. At the June 24 selectmen’s meeting, chairman Glenda Beal told Daniel Davis and Lorena Faulkingham that the town’s application for money from the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) had been approved in the amount of $482,237. Along with a previously awarded $144,840 Working Waterfront Grant, the NBRC money will cover the town’s required match and green-light the long-planned improvements and expansion of the town’s marina, Beal said.
