County shifts BRIC application to Hazard Mitigation grant for 3 Crabs Road elevation work
Summary
Clallam County staff told commissioners they will update application forms and applicant‑agent designations for the 3 Crabs Road Elevation Project after the earlier BRIC funding pathway became unavailable; the Washington Emergency Management Division is guiding a switch to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program with an imminent deadline.
Clallam County staff said the county will update its grant application paperwork and applicant‑agent designations so the 3 Crabs Road Elevation Project can continue under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program after the county’s earlier BRIC funding pathway was canceled.
Staff reported the board previously authorized two applicant agents in February and that the Washington Emergency Management Division has requested the county refile the forms naming the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program rather than BRIC (Building Resilience in Infrastructure and Communities). Staff said the county needs to update the paperwork quickly because the new grant pathway has a deadline this week.
Why it matters: the change preserves the county’s ability to pursue federal hazard mitigation funding for a road‑elevation engineering project. Staff said FEMA feedback on the revised application is expected within weeks, possibly late August or September.
County leaders asked what else the board could do to support the application; staff requested permission to proceed with updated forms and to activate grant submission steps immediately. No formal vote was recorded; staff said they would activate the application later the same day.
Ending: Staff will resubmit updated application materials for the 3 Crabs Road Elevation Project under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and will report back to the board with any FEMA responses and next steps.
