Jim Wells County authorizes application for state and local cybersecurity grant
Summary
The commissioners court approved a resolution authorizing the county judge's office to apply for the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (FY2027) to fund mitigation projects and cover most implementation costs, officials said.
The Jim Wells County Commissioners Court voted to approve a resolution authorizing the county judge's office to apply for the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program for fiscal year 2027.
Officials explained the grant would fund mitigation projects and said federal funds are authorized under the statute cited in the agenda. One official told the court, “we're hoping that by applying and garnering this grant, that we'll take care of most of the cost of the implementing of those changes,” explaining the county seeks grant funds to reduce local outlays for cybersecurity improvements. The court moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Staff characterized this as a continuation grant building on a prior assessment, and said the grant application would support identified remediation measures once awarded.
