Madison Parish authorizes federal grant application to renovate old health unit
Summary
The Police Jury authorized preparation of a federal funding application under Congresswoman Letlow’s appropriation to repair the parish’s old health unit, including roof and interior work; the president was authorized to sign the application.
Madison Parish Police Jury members voted Feb. 23 to authorize preparation of a federal funding application to renovate the parish’s old health unit, including roof repairs and interior renovations, and empowered the president to sign the application.
Dr. Candler presented a proposal to seek funds through Congresswoman Letlow’s appropriation to convert the facility for government use. The jury moved to authorize staff to prepare the application; Mr. Hicks offered the motion, Mr. Wilson seconded, and the motion carried without further discussion.
The authorization allows parish staff to move forward with drafting the application and securing the president’s signature but does not obligate the parish to accept or expend funding until awards or terms are finalized. No dollar amount for the proposed renovation was specified in the meeting minutes. The next procedural step is preparation and submission of the application for congressional appropriations consideration.
