Committee moves to pursue federal grant for White Mills Bridge with tight June 25 deadline
Summary
Magistrate Fred Clem said he spoke with a representative for U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie about federal bridge repair funds; County Engineer Mark Absher agreed to gather required information and work with the representative ahead of a June 25 submission window.
Magistrate Fred Clem told the Hardin County Public Works Committee on June 10 that he had spoken with Mr. Vickery, a representative for U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, about pursuing federal funds to repair the White Mills Bridge. County Engineer Mark Absher said he would collect the information needed and work with Mr. Vickery on the grant paperwork.
Clem flagged a short window to apply. “The grants had a short time frame for submission of 25 June, so this needs to work very soon,” the committee recorded. Committee members agreed that county staff should move quickly to assemble required documents.
No formal motion or vote on grant submission was recorded in the committee minutes; the action recorded was an agreement for the county engineer to coordinate with the congressional representative’s office to pursue the funding opportunity. The committee did not record expected award amounts or whether the grant would fully fund the bridge work.
