Chattahoochee County authorizes FY2025 CDBG application and pledges $47,500 local match
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to authorize filing a FY2025 Community Development Block Grant application (Community Facilities program) up to $1,000,000 and passed a resolution obligating $47,500 from county funds as match/leverage; the River Valley Regional Commission will prepare the application and provide implementation assistance if awarded.
Chattahoochee County commissioners on March 4 unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the county to file a Fiscal Year 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, seeking up to $1,000,000 for a Community Facilities project, and separately approved a resolution obligating $47,500 in county funds as required match and leverage.
Commissioner Jason Frost moved to authorize the application; Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The packet included a Letter of Agreement from the River Valley Regional Commission (RC) describing staff work to prepare the application — data collection, preliminary historic and environmental screening, public hearings, and cost estimating — and noting RC would provide technical and management assistance for a fee if the county receives a grant.
The county resolution directs the chair to execute the application and supply any additional information the Georgia Department of Community Affairs requires. The attached RC agreement requires the county to reimburse certain application costs (document reproduction, travel and other direct expenses) and identifies a $750 application fee for new applications or $500 for rewrites.
A follow‑up resolution obligates $47,500 from county funds as match and leverage, contingent on award. The packet states that, if awarded, the county and RC would enter a separate implementation contract detailing RC’s fee for grant administration and management.
Commissioners discussed the item as part of the consent agenda; no public comment specific to the CDBG application was recorded in the meeting minutes. The board did not discuss specific project sites or detailed budget breakdowns in the minutes; those details would appear in an application or subsequent staff reports if the grant is prepared and submitted.
