Daggett County approves $200,000 CEOA grant application for economic development and regranting
Summary
The county approved CEOA board recommendations to apply for a $200,000 rural-county CEOA grant: $63,000 for economic development funding (salaries/training), $35,000 for Innovation Hub AV upgrades, $2,000 for workforce training and up to $100,000 for regranting to businesses.
Daggett County commissioners voted July 15 to approve a CEOA (rural county) grant application package that requests the state maximum of $200,000 for 2026.
Peggy White, representing economic development and tourism, summarized the proposed allocation: $63,000 toward economic development funding (salaries, benefits and modest training/travel support), $35,000 to complete an audio‑visual system in the Innovation Hub meeting room, $2,000 for workforce training, and up to $100,000 to regrant to local businesses under a competitive process.
White said the CEOA board recommended starting regrants at $3,000 and making awards up to $15,000 or (in exceptional cases) larger amounts through selective reallocation; the board also proposed that recipients demonstrate good standing with the state. White noted prior-year demand (applications requesting $127,000 against $55,000 available) and asked the commission to approve writing and submitting the application.
A commissioner moved and seconded the recommendation; the motion carried with verbal "aye" votes. The approval authorized staff to prepare and submit the CEOA grant application consistent with the board’s recommendations.
The action does not itself disburse county funds; it authorizes the county to apply for state CEOA funds and, if awarded, to administer the regranting process described in the application.
