Hancock County approves letter of support for BDC to apply for Economic Development Administration planning grant
Summary
Commissioners agreed to provide a signed letter of support to the Business Development Corporation for an Economic Development Administration planning grant application, with the county official authorized to sign before the end of the month.
The Hancock County Commission agreed June 26 to provide a letter of support to the Business Development Corporation for an Economic Development Administration planning grant application and authorized a county official to sign the letter before the end of the month.
Commissioners were told the BDC’s request arrived after staff compiled the meeting packet because a staff member, Theresa, left on vacation and the application deadline is approaching. The commission had no objections and the presiding commissioner said they would sign and supply the letter.
The request was described as a routine support letter for a federal economic development planning grant; no additional funding or county match was discussed at the meeting. Commissioners moved to make the request a matter of record and approved the signature authority so the BDC could meet the approaching application timeline.
The action ensures the BDC can include a county support letter in its application ahead of the grant deadline at the end of the month. The commission did not vote on any direct appropriation or ongoing commitment tied to the grant during the meeting.
