Staff recommends rural-development awards to five applicants, reduces Public Works share
Summary
County staff recommended awarding rural-development dollars to five applicants — Castle Rock, Woodland, CEDC, Cowlitz County Event Center and Cowlitz County Public Works — with Public Works's award reduced to about $750,000 while the other four would be fully funded; staff will prepare contracts and bring them back to the board.
County staff told commissioners they recommend awarding rural-development funds to five applicants and will prepare contracts for board signature.
Presenter Sean listed the recommended recipients as the City of Castle Rock, the City of Woodland, the CEDC, the Cowlitz County Event Center and Cowlitz County Public Works. He said the county will "fully fund" the first four applicants while reducing the Public Works award to about $750,000.
Commissioners indicated broad agreement and asked staff to get contracts together and bring them forward to the board for formal action.
Why it matters: rural-development awards allocate county-managed funds to local projects and organizations; the recommended distribution prioritizes four applicants for full funding while trimming the county Public Works award.
What happens next: staff will draft contracts and present them to the board for approval in a future meeting.
