Fayette County approves MAP grant submission, commits $35,889 match for Phase 2 of Strategic Visioning
Summary
The commissioners approved a resolution authorizing submission of a DCED Municipal Assistance Program grant for Phase 2 of Strategic Visioning and committed $35,889 in municipal resources with an ARC award of $38,408 as match.
Fayette County commissioners voted unanimously Feb. 19 to authorize submission of a Municipal Assistance Program (MAP) grant application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for Phase 2 of the county's Strategic Visioning initiative.
The county committed $35,889 in municipal resources as local match; an Appalachian Regional Commission award of $38,408 is listed as an additional match. The resolution authorizes county staff to submit application materials to DCED and to provide required match documentation if the grant is awarded.
Why it matters: A successful MAP grant would fund the next phase of the county's strategic planning work; the county's match commitment signals financial and political support for that work. The board recorded the match amount in the resolution.
Next steps: Economic Development staff will prepare and submit the MAP application to DCED and follow up on award documentation if successful.
