Supervisors back letter of support for Cedar View Trail LWCF grant
Summary
The board agreed to provide a letter of support for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to help pave 1.2 miles of the Cedar View Trail, pairing that funding with a TAP grant and local match.
The Jefferson County Board of Supervisors voted to provide a letter of support for a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant application to help pave about 1.2 miles of the Cedar View Trail.
Speaker 7 told the board the county has $318,000 from a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) award and still needs roughly $800,000 in total to complete the project; the conservation board plans to apply to LWCF for a 50% match and asked for the board's formal acknowledgement in the grant package. "We're requesting a 144, and that will get us over, you know, 550 ish," Speaker 7 said, describing how local match and other grant sources would combine.
Supervisor (Speaker 1) moved to provide a letter of support; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Board members noted grant cycles are competitive and some federal funding availability can shift, and they directed staff to coordinate letterhead and required details for the application.
The conservation board will be the applicant; the county's letter will indicate the board is aware of and supports the project as part of the matching strategy.
Next steps include finalizing the grant application, confirming matches, and circulating the board's letter of support for signature before submission.
