County reports Crystal Road reimbursement closed under budget; Federal Lands Access grant delayed to 2028
Summary
Officials said the Crystal Road reimbursement grant of about $338,000 was completed under budget and paperwork was submitted; the Federal Lands Access grant has been pushed back and may not start until 2028, raising cost and timing concerns.
Speaker 1 updated the board that the Crystal Road reimbursement grant totaled $338,000 and that the project came in under that amount; all paperwork was submitted and the grant funds have been expended back into the project. The update noted completion of required documentation.
Speaker 1 also said the Federal Lands Access grant for a larger transportation project has been delayed and may not begin until 2028, which was later than the originally expected 2026 start. They warned that construction costs are rising, the grant program currently lacks sufficient funds for earlier starts, and that pending state legislation could change the county’s fiscal outlook. "Now it's being pushed back to it might be 20 28 before we get started," Speaker 1 said.
On related local business, Speaker 1 listed district maintenance needs (tree removal and ditch cleaning) and Speaker 1 moved to approve an easement for District 2; the motion was seconded but the transcript does not record a final roll-call vote in the provided segments.
