Middle Georgia Regional Commission outlines sidewalk safety grant; city match estimated at $30K–$40K
Summary
Tiffany G. Andrews of the Middle Georgia Regional Commission briefed Gray’s council on a proposed sidewalk-for-safety grant that could be pursued jointly with Jones County; the city’s match is estimated at about $30,000–$40,000 and a related TAP grant would not be available until the first quarter of 2026.
Tiffany G. Andrews, representing the Middle Georgia Regional Commission, presented a sidewalk-for-safety grant opportunity to the City of Gray at the May 5 council meeting. Andrews said the grant could be undertaken jointly with Jones County or independently by the city. Based on a proposal from Greg Boike with the Commission, she stated the city’s match would likely be about $30,000 to $40,000.
Andrews also noted the project could be coordinated with a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant, but that the TAP funding would not be available until the first quarter of 2026. The minutes record that Greg Boike will present the sidewalk proposal to the Jones County Board of Commissioners on May 6, 2025; Mayor Pro Tem James Collins plans to attend that county meeting to provide input on behalf of the city.
The presentation did not include final authorization or a council vote; it was recorded as informational and as part of new-business discussion. If the council pursues the grant, the city would need to confirm the match amount, finalize project scope and coordinate timing with county leadership and the TAP grant schedule.
Following the presentation the meeting proceeded to other agenda items; the sidewalk project is scheduled for further discussion at county meetings and may return to city committees for detailed review.
