County staff reported they applied for a Community Crossing grant requesting $1,250,000 and described local matching requirements.
Staff said the application required splitting the submission into two parts for the portal and that the county's share was indicated in the record. They also reported a bridge contract overrun of about $163,800 and warned that state funding for the program may be limited; staff said it was unclear whether the state would cover 80% of the overrun and that the county may have to cover the full amount.
No final state decision was reported at the meeting. Commissioners acknowledged the potential fiscal exposure and asked staff to continue pursuing funding and to alert the board if state commitments fall short.
