Tift County Commission approves CDBG grant application submission
Summary
The Board approved Resolution No. 2026-07 to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application after a March 3 public hearing; residents spoke about home repairs but did not oppose the proposed project. The vote was unanimous, 6-0.
The Tift County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on March 9 to approve Resolution No. 2026-07 authorizing submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application.
County Manager Jim Carter told the board a public hearing on the proposed submission was held March 3 and that “there were several citizens present” who commented about needing home repairs but did not speak against the project. Commissioner Donnie Hester moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Melissa Hughes seconded the motion, which carried 6-0.
The transcript records the board’s approval to proceed with the grant application; the record does not specify the dollar amount requested, the exact scope of the proposed project, or the prospective beneficiaries. Those details were not listed in the March 9 minutes and are therefore not included here.
The board took no additional action on the grant at the March 9 meeting. Next procedural steps implied by the vote are submission of the application and any subsequent county staff work required if the grant advances to award consideration.
