Staff says UW redevelopment grant packet near submission; county aims to use full $2 million
Summary
Staff reported progress on a redevelopment grant application to the University (UW) program: budget materials were received and staff expects to submit the application by the end of the week. Committee members discussed tennis‑court funding, ability to amend the grant after submission, and bridge issues raised with Representative Kurtz.
County staff told the committee they had received a copy of a budget sheet needed for the UW redevelopment grant application and expected to upload and submit the packet by the end of the week.
Key details: staff said a budget attachment from a colleague (Hila) had been difficult to open but the document was obtained and should allow timely submission. The committee discussed whether to include tennis‑court renovations in the request; while the tennis work did not receive the anticipated outside funding, staff said there was some flexibility in the budget and the county could amend the grant after submission if priorities change.
Staff and members said the county’s objective is to expend the full $2,000,000 available through the UW redevelopment grant. A staff participant (Darren) confirmed that the grant request can be amended after the initial submission, which the committee noted is important so the county can start project expenditures while adjusting line items later if needed. Committee members also mentioned discussions with Representative Kurtz regarding bridge issues related to the project area.
Next steps: staff to submit the grant application by the end of the week, then return to the committee with any updates or amendments as the project scope is finalized.
