Nye County hears CDBG FY25 guidance; county awarded $700,000 for fairgrounds utilities
Summary
County grant manager outlined HUD/state CDBG priorities, application timeline (due Aug. 9) and eligibility; Nye County reported about $7 million historically awarded and a recent $700,000 award to Pahrump fairgrounds utilities.
Stephanie Elliott, Nye County contracts and grants manager, briefed the commissioners on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for fiscal 2025 and the county's role in soliciting projects.
Elliott said the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated approximately $3 million to Nevada for the program this year; the state guidance narrows eligible priorities to public facilities, infrastructure, planning and economic development. She explained HUD national objectives (benefit to low- and moderate-income persons, slum/blight elimination or urgent community need) and stressed that Nye County projects must match the state guidance and complete environmental reviews and SAM.gov registration where required.
Elliott reported Nye County has received $7,044,000 in CDBG awards since 1982. She said the county was recently notified it would receive a $700,000 award for Pahrump fairgrounds utility improvements; the item will come back to the board for formal award and project ranking. She outlined an August 9 application deadline, a September 4 presentation to the board for potential applications, and a November ranking meeting for final project prioritization.
Commissioners and residents asked about distribution of past funds and asked staff to help smaller towns and advisory boards prepare applications and SAM.gov registrations. Elliott said county staff will sponsor applicants without UEIs and assist with project scoping and grant management.
