Carbon County ratifies $1.835 million congressional spending requests for regional radio network upgrade
Summary
The board unanimously ratified two FY2027 congressionally directed spending requests — one to Senator Dave McCormick and one to Senator John Fetterman — each seeking $1,835,074 to upgrade Carbon County's regional P25 radio network devices.
The Carbon County Board of Commissioners unanimously ratified two FY2027 congressionally directed spending request applications seeking $1,835,074 each to support a regional P25 radio network device upgrade. The applications were submitted separately to U.S. Senator Dave McCormick and U.S. Senator John Fetterman and were ratified on the record as agenda items #26-247 and #26-248.
Commissioners described the requests as related to a county regional radio network upgrade using P25 technology; both motions carried with unanimous recorded votes. The meeting minutes list the requested amount and purpose but do not include technical specifications, a procurement plan, or an implementation timeline for the project.
The board’s action ratifies the county’s submission of the requests; federal appropriations and any resulting award remain subject to congressional and senator‑level review, appropriations processes and possible matching or implementation requirements. No public comment on the matter was recorded in the minutes.
