Perry County Fiscal Court approves nearly $2.0 million in infrastructure and economic development grant applications
Summary
Perry County Fiscal Court unanimously approved resolutions to file for and authorize completion of multiple 2026 grant-funded infrastructure projects — including sewer and lift-station work — and a $25,000 local economic development grant application; the court then adjourned.
Perry County Fiscal Court approved a slate of grant resolutions and applications totaling about $1.99 million on motions recorded during its brief meeting.
The Chair introduced multiple items under what the court referenced as the "government resources accelerating needed transformation grant programs of 2026." Those approvals included a $441,291 request for the South Perry School sewer extension, a $686,760 allocation for Upper 2nd Floor Extension Phase 2, a $132,211 request for the Vico lift-station rehabilitation, and a $706,305 Phase 2 request for the Levittco sewer rehabilitation. The court also voted to file a $25,000 Local Government Economic Development Fund (LGEDF) — House Bill 6 — grant application to support the county's revolving economic development efforts.
Each resolution was presented by the Chair, moved and seconded as recorded in the minutes (motions noted in the transcript as "Motion by Church," "Second by Combs," and similar), and approved with the court responding "Aye." For example, the Chair stated the South Perry School project: "Approve the resolution authorizing the completion and filing of a government resources accelerating needed transformation grant programs of 2026. The South Perry School Sewer Extension, $441,291." The Chair then called for the vote and members answered "Aye."
The meeting record shows the line of credit at Whitaker Bank was also discussed as a routine annual action the court takes to bridge cash flow for reimbursable projects; the Chair described that the line is paid off at the end of the year after reimbursements arrive. That administrative item was handled in the same motion sequence.
No roll-call tallies with individual member votes were recorded in the transcript; approvals are recorded as "All in favor, say aye," with "Aye" responses noted. The transcript identifies motions moved by individuals using surnames (for example, Church and Combs) but does not provide full names, titles, or a roll-call vote sheet in the record provided.
After completing the listed approvals, the Chair noted the number of projects moving forward through the grant programs and the court moved to adjourn; the motion to adjourn was made by Spencer, seconded by Church, and the meeting ended.
Next steps: the resolutions authorize filing and completion of grant paperwork; specific award decisions, implementation timelines and any required contract actions depend on subsequent grant approvals and project-level procurement, which were not detailed in this meeting's transcript.
