Martin County endorses $45,000 bicycle and pedestrian planning grant application
Summary
The board adopted a resolution endorsing a $45,000 NCDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Grant application to prepare a countywide plan, with a required 20% local match of $9,000 and support from the Mid‑East Commission and the Town of Williamston.
Martin County commissioners voted Aug. 14 to endorse an application to the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Grant program for $45,000, with a required 20 percent local match of $9,000.
County Manager David Bone told the board the county had applied in 2018 and been unsuccessful; the Mid‑East Commission has offered to assist the county with a plan if the grant is awarded, and the Town of Williamston’s planning department pledged support.
The resolution notes the grant would fund a comprehensive local bicycle and pedestrian plan to guide infrastructure, policy and outreach; the board approved the resolution by motion and second with unanimous support from members present.
The meeting record does not show a project timeline or contractor selection; those details would be determined if the grant application is successful.
