County awarded seed grant to update addressing data for next-generation 9-1-1
Summary
Daviess County received a no-match seed grant of just under $30,000 to update addressing data for next-generation 9-1-1; WTH Technologies will perform the work after state final review.
Daviess County staff reported that the county was awarded a seed grant to update its addressing data to be compatible with next-generation 9-1-1 systems.
Julie Reichert, presenting the update, said the county was notified on Feb. 20 that it had been awarded the grant for a project “a little under $30,000.” She said the grant requires no local match, has been signed and returned to the state, and is now undergoing a 90- to 110-day final review before work can begin. Reichert said work is expected to start around June and that WTH Technologies will perform the addressing updates; Sean Scott with WTH was the vendor contact mentioned in the meeting.
Why it matters: updating addressing data is a technology step toward next-generation 9-1-1 compliance, which can affect emergency dispatch accuracy and routing.
Reichert said the award is a no-match grant and that state review could take three to four months. No formal vote was required for this informational update; commissioners acknowledged receipt of the award and thanked staff.
