County staff present six RACP cooperation agreements for high‑impact projects; commissioners ratify agenda including them
Summary
Kanetha Hansen of the York County Economic Alliance told the board that six nonprofit or for‑profit projects in York County received RACP awards and require cooperation agreements with the host municipality; the agreements were included in agenda items the board approved July 16.
At the July 16 meeting of the York County Board of Commissioners, Kanetha Hansen, representing the York County Economic Alliance and speaking on behalf of the Redevelopment Authority of the County of York, presented cooperation agreements tied to state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) awards for six local projects. The agreements are routine, Hansen said, and required by the commonwealth when a grantee is not a municipality.
Hansen told the board, “Before you today are, I think 6 resolutions on behalf of 6, nonprofit or for profit businesses in York County that have very high impact projects that have received a RACP award.” She described RACP as “the state's premier grant program” and explained that when a grantee is not a municipality “the Commonwealth requires a cooperation agreement with the host, municipality.”
The RACP cooperation agreements were presented as part of the board’s consent items and were approved when the board voted to adopt agenda items 1–26, a motion that carried by voice vote. Hansen offered to answer questions; none were recorded in the transcript.
Discussion vs. decision: the presentation was informational; the formal decision to ratify the items containing the cooperation agreements occurred when the board approved the motion to adopt items 1–26. The transcript does not list the grantees by name or provide project dollar amounts.
What’s next: county staff will proceed with routine follow-up required by the cooperation agreements and by the commonwealth; further project-level details (specific grantees, award amounts, implementation timelines) were not provided in the meeting transcript.
