Daniels County approves $54,400 match for courthouse historic grant
Summary
The county commissioners agreed Feb. 17 to sign a letter committing $54,400 in matching funds for a historic courthouse grant; the city will cover the remainder for new sirens, officials said.
Daniels County commissioners voted Feb. 17 to provide $54,400 in matching funds for a historic‑courthouse grant, signing a letter from John Box that commissioners said authorizes the county to participate in the project.
The motion to approve the matching funds carried by voice vote. A commissioner noted the city will fund a separate set of new sirens and that the county’s obligation is limited to the concurrence letter and the stated matching amount. The board did not specify the total grant award in the meeting record; one participant described the grant as “a couple hundred grand” but did not give a precise figure.
The action is intended to allow grant work on the courthouse basement and other restoration tasks to proceed if contractors can be found. Commissioners also said additional letters of support would be provided when repair‑board representatives asked the board to back a later grant application for foundation, balcony and roof work.
The board took the step during its routine business session and moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
