Committee agrees to run competitive process for state County Infrastructure funding to support housing projects
Jan 5, 2026
Staff recommended repeating last year's countywide competitive process to select a municipal project for the state's County Infrastructure program (counties eligible for $500,000 or up to $1,000,000 for projects that facilitate 10+ housing units); the committee approved the proposal by motion and voice vote and directed staff to proceed with a tight application timeline.
The full story
Staff presented the state's County Infrastructure funding opportunity and proposed the same countywide competitive process used last year: solicit projects from municipalities, score them against a rubric, and advance the highest‑scoring project for the state's consolidated funding application. The program offers counties $500,000 as a base option and up to $1,000,000 for projects that facilitate 10 or more housing units; construction must commence within one year of award per program rules.
