Lenoir City Council approves $127,551 local match for phase 2 streambank stabilization project
Summary
Council approved committing $127,551 from stormwater funds as the city’s share for Community Development Block Grant–supported streambank stabilization along the Greenway Trail (Rocks Branch), part of a multi‑phase project with total earlier-phase funds estimated at about $780,000.
The Lenoir City Council voted to commit $127,551 from the city’s stormwater fund as its share of the phase 2 streambank stabilization project, council members said. The project work is scheduled along the Greenway Trail at Rocks Branch; the measure passed by roll call with all members present voting "Aye."
City staff (Greg) told the council the CDBG project includes two phases and that combined funding for phases 1 and 2 is roughly $780,000. He said the grant portion available for the current work is about $250,000 and that the requested $127,551 represents the city’s remaining local match to complete phase 2. Council members indicated the recommended city share would come from the stormwater fund.
Council discussion focused on the funding gap and whether stormwater reserves should cover the local match. Councilman Greg Sutton (questioning staff) asked for clarification about the split between grant money and local funds; staff confirmed the figures described on the record. A motion to approve the commitment and use of stormwater funds passed unanimously by roll call.
No construction contract was awarded at the meeting; staff will proceed with the project under the grant requirements and the city’s committed funding.
