Logan applies for County COG funds for Tenth North intersection and joins North Logan on 200 East project
Summary
Council received a public hearing on grant applications to the Cache County Council of Governments for three street projects, including a $3.2 million request for the Tenth North/600 West intersection and participation in a North Logan-led 200 East corridor project where Logan’s share is estimated at $160,000.
City staff described July 16 an application package to the Cache County Council of Governments (COG) seeking funding for major street improvements and held the required public hearing.
The city is applying for COG funds for three projects, the largest of which is the Tenth North at 600 West intersection and the railroad crossing. Staff estimated the project’s preliminary cost at $5–6 million and said the city has requested $3.2 million from COG this year. Minimum local match rules require at least 8% ($~260,000 on the $3.2 million request), but staff said the city expects to provide a larger match—roughly $2 million (about 40%)—and that matching funds are already shown in the capital plan.
A second application is Logan’s involvement on a North Logan-led project on 200 East from about 1350 North to 1800 North. Staff said the total project estimate is about $8 million; Logan’s portion inside city limits is roughly $2 million and Logan’s expected cash match for its portion is about $160,000. That project is currently planned for fiscal year 2029; staff said North Logan had asked Logan to participate and that Logan’s contribution would be included in its five-year plan.
Why it matters: The projects address railroad crossings, intersection safety and corridor completion and are funded through a county-wide COG program financed by a 0.25% county sales tax. COG requires public hearings and cost estimates as part of the application process.
Details and schedule: For the Tenth North project staff said plans are at roughly 30% design (the COG program now allows earlier-stage project applications than in prior years). The railroad and the city have been engaged in coordination staff said is likely to continue. For the North Logan project staff said a waiver or longer timeline from COG may be requested because the project is several years out; the COG rules generally expect projects to begin spending within two years unless a waiver is granted.
Next steps: The council closed the public hearing after hearing public comments and questions and staff confirmed the city would submit the applications to the COG to be considered during the funding cycle.
