County Council approves $25 million appropriation to start RAISE-funded highway project
Summary
Tippecanoe County Council voted to appropriate $25,000,000 in RAISE grant funds so the county can begin a highway project for which it was named grantee; council approved the appropriation by voice vote after a brief presentation.
Tippecanoe County Council voted to appropriate $25,000,000 in RAISE grant funds on Feb. 11, clearing the way to begin a county highway project funded through the award.
The appropriation was requested so the county can begin work on the project awarded under the RAISE grant program. Councilman Basham moved the appropriation and Councilman Richard seconded; after a short presentation the council approved the motion by voice vote.
Tom, who presented the item to the council, described the funding and the county’s role. “This is the, the RAISE grant that was, secured through REC. But Tippecanoe County was named as a grantee. So, we're asking for the appropriation of those funds, to get that project started,” Tom said.
Tom said the grant was secured through REC and Tippecanoe County was identified as the grantee; the appropriation is intended to allow the county to begin project work. The council did not record roll-call vote tallies in the transcript; the motion passed following the meeting’s voice vote procedure.
No further timeline, contractor awards, or project scope details were provided during the presentation. The transcript does not specify contingency conditions or next administrative steps beyond starting the project with the appropriated funds.
The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for March 11.
