Council committee approves reapplication for $1 million ARC grant to add classrooms at Savings Center
Summary
Staff asked permission to reapply for a $1 million Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant to fund educational classrooms and labs within the Savings Center; the ARC requires a 50/50 match that staff said is already budgeted in the project.
The committee approved staff’s request to reapply for an Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant of $1 million to add educational classrooms and labs at the Savings Center.
Miss Standridge, staff member, told the committee that the department had applied for two ARC grants previously; one was denied and staff received feedback from ARC and ADECA that the previous application emphasized the Savings Center generally and not enough about the specific space requested. Staff said they revised the application and want to reapply for the same $1 million grant. The ARC grant requires a 50/50 local match; staff said the matching $1 million is already scheduled in the Savings Center capital project budget, so the grant would effectively add $1 million of outside funding to the existing construction plan if awarded.
Committee members asked about timing; Miss Standridge said ADECA reviews applications first and that the ARC review process typically takes about three months from ADECA to ARC. The committee voted to approve the request to reapply.
