Development committee to submit Local Road Assistance grant application for about $2.3 million allocation
Summary
The Development & Planning Services Committee approved submission of the local road assistance grant application after staff said the county's allocation is just over $2.3 million and that applications are due June 15; staff provided a list of candidate roads and estimated costs.
Columbia County's Development & Planning Services Committee approved sending an application for the state Local Road Assistance (LRA) grant after staff said the county's allocation is just over $2.3 million.
Planning staff member Mr. Schlockter told the committee that the governor and legislature included funding for the program this year and that the county must submit its application before the June 15 deadline. "$2,300,000 just over that will be our allocated," he said, and staff provided a list of roads and estimated costs to include in the application.
Why it matters: The LRA grant provides state funds to support local road projects; if awarded, the grant would add capital resources to county road improvement budgets.
Details and next steps: The committee voted to recommend approval of the application; staff will finalize the list of candidate roads and costs and submit the application by the June 15 deadline.
