Mary Crosby, the county’s grant coordinator, presented multimodal discretionary grant opportunities for realignment work at Strawberry Creek and Pine Creek during the May 17 Lincoln County commissioners meeting. The board voted to approve the Strawberry Creek grant application submittal and to authorize a preliminary county contribution toward Pine Creek.
Commissioner Harmon moved to approve the submittal of the Strawberry Creek grant application; the motion was adopted. Crosby explained the county is also reviewing state ARPA distributions and requested the commissioners’ preferences on potential projects. She also raised other outreach opportunities including Impact 307 and a planned discussion about the Idaho National Lab, and noted a request from Rita Meyer to arrange a meeting between the commissioners and Bechtel regarding infrastructure.
