Economic development staff told the Carbon County Commission HUD cleared a $2,850,000 community project funding award to be used for road infrastructure on Ridge Road to support access into the industrial park; staff said the county requested a change of use and set up the project in HUD's DRGR system.

Wilson described earlier restrictions that made acceptance difficult, the county's subsequent HUD request to repurpose the funds for road work within the same project area, and confirmation that the county had the green light to pursue the project in HUD's DRGR system.
