Pike County approves application for DCED strategic management planning grant, agrees local match
Summary
Commissioners adopted Resolution 25-13 to apply for a Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) strategic management planning grant and allocated a 25% local match; DCED staff explained scope and timeline.
Pike County commissioners on April 23 adopted Resolution 25-13 authorizing application for a strategic management planning program grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and committing a 25% local match to the project.
The resolution authorizes the county chief clerk to apply for the grant and indicates the county will allocate local resources equal to 25% of the project's cost.
Jonas Crafts, representing the DCED governor's local government services center, described the program as a grant that helps counties analyze financial structure, plan five-year financial scenarios and contract for third-party professional services to review county finances. "It's a state grant for $200,000," Crafts said, and he noted the grant process includes selecting professional services and a multiyear implementation timeline.
Commissioners recorded the resolution as adopted and asked staff to proceed with the application process. No specific vendor or final project budget beyond the stated match percentage was decided during the meeting.
