Milford board signals support to accept $1 million federal directed‑spending grant
Summary
Representatives reported Milford was awarded a $1,000,000 congressionally directed spending grant; the board voted to accept/support the grant and will hold required public hearings before accepting funds once released.
Captain Fry briefed the board that an application submitted in February 2025 was awarded in January 2026: a congressionally directed spending grant totaling $1,000,000.
“We applied for it in February 2025, and in January 2026 we were awarded the grant,” the presenter said. He added that no money has been released yet and that next steps will include required public hearings if and when the funds arrive.
Board members discussed terminology—whether to “support” or to “accept” the grant now—because department rules require a separate public hearing before formally accepting unanticipated revenue. The board moved to indicate support and to accept the grant in principle, with a future public hearing to authorize receipt of funds once they are distributed.
The board voted in favor of the motion to support/accept the award; the chair noted a later meeting will be required to accept the funds formally when they arrive. No schedule for project spending was provided during the update.
