Charlevoix County to apply for $72,000 CDBG grant to buy emergency generators for businesses and service providers
Summary
The board authorized application for $72,000 in Michigan CDBG Urgent Need Program funds to purchase emergency gas-powered generators and supplies for distribution to businesses and service providers affected by the 2025 ice storm; the Emergency Management Coordinator was designated as certifying officer. Motion passed 5-0.
Charlevoix County officials voted Oct. 22 to apply for a Michigan Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Urgent Need Program award of $72,000 to purchase emergency gas-powered generators and related supplies for distribution to businesses and service providers affected by the 2025 ice storm.
Commissioner Robert Jess moved the resolution and Commissioner Scott Hankins seconded. The board designated the county's Emergency Management Coordinator as the Environmental Review Certifying Officer and authorized that person to sign the grant application and any documents needed to carry out the grant. The motion carried by roll call vote, 5-0.
The application would fund generator purchases and supplies for distribution countywide to assist continuity of operations for affected businesses and service providers. The transcript does not specify the number or capacity of generators to be purchased; those details would be determined in the grant application and procurement process if the award is received.
