Board approves USDA grant application resolution for Bay Brother's Seafood
Summary
After a closed session on economic development, Washington County commissioners approved a resolution authorizing an application for a USDA Rural Business Development Grant on behalf of Bay Brother's Seafood; motion passed unanimously.
After returning from a closed session on economic development, the Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing an application for a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Development Grant (RDBG) on behalf of Bay Brother's Seafood.
Commissioner Riddick moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Walker seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The transcript records the formal approval but does not include details of the grant request (application amount, scope or project description).
Why it matters: An RDBG is a federal grant program many small rural businesses use for equipment, infrastructure or working capital; county authorization typically enables a local government to serve as the applicant or fiscal agent for a private business seeking the grant.
Next steps: The board approved the resolution authorizing the application; the record does not specify application deadlines, grant amount requested or county financial commitment.
