County seeks $50,000 DOLA planning grant to create countywide road-improvement plan
Summary
County staff proposed applying for a DOLA planning grant to fund a $50,000 countywide road-improvement plan; DOLA is expected to contribute about $25,000 and the county would provide a 50% match from its road and bridge fund.
Phaedra asked the board to approve applying for a Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) planning grant to develop a countywide road-improvement plan. She said the estimated cost is about $50,000 and DOLA would likely provide $25,000, requiring a 50% county match. Staff told commissioners the county’s road and bridge fund can cover the local share.
Commissioners said having an up-to-date countywide plan would make the county more competitive for larger federal and state funding in the future. They noted energy-impact funding will be limited this year and that a planning document could help target future grant requests.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with the DOLA application and, if successful, use the resulting plan to guide project prioritization and future grant applications.
