LISBON

Lisbon is looking to map its trails.

Councilors tonight will discuss a micro-grant that will pave the way for the town to create and distribute maps of trails in Lisbon. If they approve submitting a micro-grant application to Portland Greendrinks, the potential award of $500 would give the town the funds it needs to carry out the project.

The maps would be made available at the town office and Beaver Park, and would also available at trail heads around town. According to a memo from Town Manager Diane Barnes to the council, the town has been in contact with a University of Maine- Farmington student who has agreed to locate trail coordinates and help create the maps.

Portland Greendrinks is part of an international network, The nonprofit social networking group awards grants surrounding environmental and sustainability causes. The group supports its mission by assisting local organizations, businesses and green initiatives.

Also at their meeting tonight, councilors will vote on putting public works projects out to bid. The department is seeking a company to complete the town’s budgeted $425,000 worth of paving projects. The town also needs annual center line and striping completed.

The public works department is also hoping to take advantage of lower prices through the Androscoggin Valley Council of Government’s annual joint road salt purchase to buy its 3,000 tons of salt.

The Town Council will meet at 7 p.m. today at the Town Office.
