Commissioners approve advertising for $700,000 additional appropriation to match Community Crossings funds for paving projects
Summary
Greene County commissioners approved a motion to advertise a $700,000 additional appropriation to match state Community Crossings funds for 2025 paving projects; county officials said the state program increased available funding to $1.5 million this year and the local match is intended to secure the county’s share.
Commissioners approved a motion to advertise an additional appropriation of $700,000 for the highway department to use as a local match for Community Crossings paving projects.
A county official told the board that the state increased the amount available through the Community Crossings program this year from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 and that the county’s $700,000 match is intended to secure the county’s portion of those funds and to complete other paving projects funded by wheel-tax receipts. The official characterized the match as necessary to fully access the increased state allocation.
Commissioners asked whether the projects were scheduled for 2025 and were told they are. Officials also discussed wheel-tax receipts and signage for completed projects; one commissioner noted the county’s wheel-tax collections flow into paving program activities.
Commissioner Long made the motion to advertise the additional appropriation and Brent seconded. Commissioners voted in favor and the motion passed.
The motion authorized advertising the appropriation; actual award or expenditure requires subsequent appropriation and project-specific approvals once bids and project details are finalized.
