Hilbert told it won $ $1.1 million ARIP grant for Plappert Road; 10% local match likely required
Summary
The board was informed the Village of Hilbert received a $1.1 million Agricultural Roads Improvement Program grant for Plappert Road. A contract has not arrived; the village is expected to pay roughly 10% (about $100,000) up front and may need to budget for that expense.
The Village Board of Hilbert was told on Aug. 20 that the village has been awarded a $1.1 million Agricultural Roads Improvement Program (ARIP) grant to improve Plappert Road. Board members were informed a formal contract has not yet arrived and the village will likely be required to pay about 10% — roughly $100,000 — up front.
Why it matters: The ARIP award would fund a major local road improvement and may require the village to allocate or borrow local funds to meet the required up-front payment. Board members discussed budgeting for the initial payment and possible private participation in the project.
Details presented at the meeting were delivered as administrative updates: officials said Fox Valley Alfalfa has been notified and may extend the road at its own expense if it chooses to do so. No contract terms, schedule, or final local cost share were provided during the meeting. The board did not take formal action on the grant at the session.
What’s next: Staff will notify the board when the contract arrives so members can review final terms and any required local appropriation or budget amendment. The board’s next scheduled meeting is expected to include follow-up information on the ARIP agreement.
