Shyathia Duncan details Cycle 28 Coastal Incentive Grant opportunity for Georgia’s coastal counties
Summary
Shyathia Duncan of DNR’s CRD briefed the Woodbine City Council on the Cycle 28 Coastal Incentive Grant for 2025–2026, available to Georgia’s 11 coastal counties, answering questions about the application process and allocation; no award amounts were specified in the transcript.
At the Oct. 7, 2024 meeting of the Woodbine City Council, Shyathia Duncan of DNR’s CRD presented an overview of the Cycle 28 Coastal Incentive Grant for 2025–2026 and responded to council questions about how counties apply for and receive funds.
The presentation focused on the grant program available to Georgia’s 11 coastal counties and on procedural questions about the application process and allocation of funds. The transcript records that Duncan provided background information and answered council members’ questions; the minutes do not specify grant award amounts, application deadlines, eligible project types, or other numeric details.
The briefing was delivered during the regular meeting with Mayor Pro Tem Louise Mitchell and councilors Rick Baird, C.C. Higginbotham and Phyllis Drummond present. Council members posed questions about the application process and allocation; the transcript does not attribute specific follow-up items or deadlines to any councilor.
No formal action on the grant—such as a resolution of support or a motion to apply—appears in the minutes. The council’s next steps, if any, were not recorded in the transcript.
The presentation is relevant to local officials because the Coastal Incentive Grant funds projects in coastal counties; Woodbine officials may consider whether to coordinate with county or regional partners on an application. Details that were not included in the minutes—award size, specific eligible projects, and application deadlines—would need to be obtained from DNR’s CRD or posted grant guidance.
