Appling County approves resubmittal of CDBG application for Manning Williams and Coop Jones roads
Summary
The Appling County Commission voted unanimously to adopt a resolution to resubmit a Community Development Block Grant application for work in the Manning Williams and Coop Jones Road block areas and authorized the chairman to sign application paperwork; the county expects a roughly $1.8 million total project with a typical 10% local match.
The Appling County Commission unanimously approved a resolution to resubmit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application covering work in the Manning Williams and Coop Jones Road block areas and authorized the chairman to sign the application paperwork.
County staff told commissioners the application will largely mirror last year’s submission and that preliminary work and the required audits already are in place. Presenters described the total project at about $1.8 million and said the county expects to meet the typical 10% local match through a combination of cash and in‑kind contributions. Commissioners discussed using forthcoming LMEA funds and discretionary district funds toward the match.
Commissioners moved and seconded the resolution and approved it unanimously. The resolution authorizes the chairman to sign any paperwork needed to file the resubmittal.
The project area was described as the Manning Williams Road and Coop Jones Road block areas (a speaker also referenced the Danny Williams block within that area). Staff said the application is a resubmittal of last year’s CDBG request that did not receive funding. No further implementation schedule or contractor details were provided at the meeting.
The action is limited to adopting the resolution and authorizing the chairman to submit the application; no contract awards or construction work were authorized at this meeting.
Officials said the county had already completed the audit documentation required for the CDBG application and that matching funds could come from LMEA allocations and district discretionary funds if the commission chooses to apply them toward the required local match.
