Danville commits to matching funds after $900,000 trail grant award
Summary
Trustees agreed to commit available local matching funds for a $900,000 trail grant award and authorized staff to proceed, while staff said additional grant opportunities may reduce the town’s required match.
Danville trustees voted to commit local matching funds after staff reported the town had been awarded a $900,000 grant for a trail project.
A staff member told the board the grant award is secured and described the town’s balance sheet on the project, showing available local funds and a requested commitment to cover the match. The staff member said one additional grant is still pending and that more grant cycles in August and November could reduce the town’s final match obligation; staff did not specify the exact match amount during the meeting.
Trustees moved and approved a motion to commit the amounts presented; the transcript records a voice vote but does not include a roll-call tally. Staff also said the local hospital has indicated interest in contributing to the project but the hospital’s dollar amount was not specified.
Staff will continue design work and pursue other grant opportunities over the next year; trustees authorized moving forward with the design and funding commitments as presented.
