Greene County places $675,000 ARC ARISE partnership with Carnegie Mellon on the agenda pending solicitor and PennDOT approval
Summary
County staff said a proposed ARC ARISE partner engagement with Carnegie Mellon would bring $675,000 to Greene County with an in-kind match; commissioners approved placing the item on the agenda but noted it is pending solicitor and PennDOT approvals.
County staff presented a proposed partner engagement between Greene County and Carnegie Mellon University to participate in an ARC ARISE grant. Staff said Greene County would receive $675,000 with an in‑kind commitment described in the presentation; figures were also presented as a multi‑year match (staff mentioned $383,955 and an alternate breakdown shown as $127,985 over three years). The staff presentation explicitly stated the commitment is pending review by the county solicitor and approval by PennDOT.
A Committee member moved to place the ARC ARISE partner engagement on the agenda; commissioners approved the motion by voice vote. During discussion a Committee member noted the project would relate to public transportation and the county’s shared‑ride service. Staff and commissioners emphasized the item requires external approvals before the county can finalize commitments.
Next steps identified at the meeting included solicitor review of the proposed agreement and outreach to PennDOT to determine whether previously received PennDOT funds could be used as the county match. The county did not adopt the agreement at this meeting; the item was placed on the agenda for future action pending the noted approvals.
