Jackson County authorizes $3.8 million CDBG agreement for water system upgrades
Summary
The county authorized the chair to sign a $3.8 million Community Development Block Grant from Florida Commerce to build an elevated storage tank and well serving the I-10/Highway 71 area and surrounding service area.
County staff told commissioners that a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreement had arrived from Florida Commerce for an infrastructure project to serve the Interstate 10/Highway 71 service area. Staff said the agreement would fund an elevated storage tank and a well and described the grant amount as "$3,800,000." "The CDBG is a $3,800,000 grant," staff said when describing the award to commissioners.
Commissioners authorized the chair to sign the grant agreement by voice vote. Staff proposed recognizing the state representative and senator at the next regular meeting with a brief check-presentation ceremony to acknowledge work that supported securing the funding. The grant is intended to extend and improve water service in the corridor; staff said the county will execute the agreement with Florida Commerce and proceed with the project steps required under the grant terms.
