The commission approved a series of SSBG and CDBG agreements totaling $610,940 in program awards and a separate $250,000 outdoor recreation grant for trail resurfacing, and completed a site-release related to EV charging stations at the Davis Conference Center.

On July 1 the Davis County Commission approved multiple grant agreements presented by Community and Economic Development Director Kent Anderson. The approved agreements include Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) awards and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) contracts for nonprofits, school-district programming and infrastructure.

Approved items included SSBG agreements: $30,000 to Open Doors for street outreach, $26,690 to Grandview for grief counseling for youth and families, and $38,500 to Lantern House for homeless shelter services. CDBG awards included $250,000 to South Davis Water District for a water-line replacement project in Bountiful; $107,065 to Davis School District for a summer camp program for low- and moderate-income incoming kindergarten students; $28,685 to Open Doors for a landlord-tenant mediation project; and $130,000 to Habitat for Humanity for the Davis County Critical Home Repair Program.

The commission also approved a site-owner release with the Utah Department of Transportation related to the six electric vehicle superchargers at the Davis Conference Center (no county receivable noted) and authorized receipt of a $250,000 award from the Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant program to resurface Davis trails (grant period through Sept. 30, 2027).
