Stonington -- A town meeting vote will be held at 7 p.m. Monday at the high school on a proposed plan to spend $5.2 million in federal COVID-19 aid.

While there is no requirement that the plan to spend the American Rescue Plan Act funds be sent to voters for approval, the Board of Selectmen decided to send the plan to a town meeting vote.

Last month, the Board of Finance finalized the plan. The largest expenditure is $1.5 million for HVAC improvements at Town Hall and the Human Services Department as well as an additional $1 million for a contingency fund to offset increased costs for items it kept on the projects list.

The plan includes $600,000 to replace the dome that covers the salt supply at the Public Works Department because its concrete walls are deteriorating. It also includes $100,000 to begin a low- and no-interest loan program for residents to make improvements to their homes and $706,668 for road paving in town.

Another $375,000 will be used for drainage and paving work at Town Hall, $150,000 to create additional parking at the Fourth District Voting Hall in downtown Mystic and $80,000 to help pay for HVAC installation in the Stonington Community Center auditorium and gym.
