Daggett County approves $200,000 CEOA rural county grant application to fund economic development and regranting
Summary
The commission approved submitting a CEOA rural county grant application for the 2026 cycle requesting $200,000 — including $63,000 for economic development staffing, $35,000 for Innovation Hub AV, $2,000 for workforce training and $100,000 for regranting to local businesses.
Peggy White, representing county economic development and tourism, presented a proposed 2026 CEOA rural county grant application and sought the commission's authorization to finalize and submit it. White described the request as the state maximum of $200,000, broken down into $63,000 for economic development funding (salaries/benefits and partial backup staffing), $35,000 for audio/visual equipment in the Innovation Hub room, $2,000 for workforce training, and $100,000 for regranting to support local businesses.
White illustrated local impacts by citing past small-business recipients that used funding for fencing, refrigeration and shop equipment, and said grant awards will start at $3,000 and can scale up under the board's regranting plan. Commissioner Acey moved to approve the application and Commissioner Tibbetts seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.
White said she would proceed to draft and submit the grant application per the board's approval.
