Henderson County wins $1.7 million FLAP grant to replace two wooden bridges
Summary
County Engineer Nick Stallings announced a $1.7 million Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) award to replace two deteriorating wooden bridges on Green River Road Nos. 1 and 2; the grant requires no local match, and the county will use in-kind services to reduce costs.
Henderson County announced a $1.7 million Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) grant at its April 28 Fiscal Court meeting to replace two wooden bridges that provide access to federal lands.
County Engineer Nick Stallings told the court he applied for and received the FLAP award; the funding will be used to replace one wooden bridge on Green River Road No. 1 and another on Green River Road No. 2, both of which the engineer described as showing significant deterioration. Stallings said the grant does not require a local match but that the county plans to apply in-kind services to save costs.
Stallings also opened qualifications-only bids for sign and road-widening consultants and noted that he will return to the court later with recommendations. The court approved the County Road Aid COOP Program resolution earlier in the meeting to maintain eligibility for state road aid programs.
The minutes do not specify a construction timeline or contractor award; Stallings will present consultant recommendations and project scheduling at a later date.
