Howard County to advertise bids after winning $1.4 million Community Crossings matching grant
Summary
Amber from the highway department told commissioners Howard County received a $1,400,000 Community Crossings matching grant; the board approved advertising the project and receiving bids and noted an April 30 contract start deadline.
A highway department representative, Amber, told the Howard County Board of Commissioners the county received notice late Friday that it was awarded Community Crossings matching grant funding totaling $1,400,000.
Amber asked the board to authorize advertising the project and accepting bids on an accelerated schedule because the contract must be “underway by April 30,” she said. The commissioners moved, seconded and approved the request to advertise and receive bids.
The transcript records Amber saying the grant must be underway by April 30 and commissioners expressing appreciation for her work to meet the tight deadline. The meeting record lists the grant amount as $1,400,000 and identifies it as a matching grant; the transcript does not detail the county’s matching share or the specific projects to be funded under the award.
Commissioners directed staff to proceed with advertisement and bid receipt so the county can meet state timelines for the Community Crossings program.
