Floyd County authorizes CDBG planning grant agreement for workforce housing work
Summary
The board approved execution of a CDBG infrastructure planning grant agreement to support preliminary engineering and planning for workforce/opportunity housing; staff noted additional potential funding through the New River Regional Commission and the Virginia housing grant program.
Floyd County supervisors authorized county staff to execute a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) infrastructure planning agreement to advance preliminary engineering and planning for workforce housing projects. County staff said the planning grant will cover preliminary engineering work and that additional funding may be available from the New River Regional Commission and Virginia housing programs.
The board voted to approve the planning grant agreement and to authorize necessary signatures. Staff said the planning work is intended to set parameters and ready the project for potential later capital funding requests, and the action does not itself commit construction funds.
Board members endorsed moving forward with planning while noting the importance of matching and follow‑on funding sources. Staff will return with timelines and next steps as the planning work advances.
