County to submit $280,000 Middle Creek Road application with up to $100,000 state match, roads staff says
Summary
Roads staff said the county will apply to a new state grant pool to repair Middle Creek Road, estimating a $280,000 project with a $100,000 matching cap from the state; staff noted a calculation error on the state form but said the state confirmed a $100,000 award cap.
Michael, a county roads staff member, briefed the court on a memorandum of agreement for large‑roads funding and a grant application for Middle Creek Road.
He said the total project cost is roughly $280,000 and that the state grant would match up to $100,000, leaving approximately $180,000 as the county share. "The total of this project is about, per Scotty's estimate is 280,000. It is only, a match up to a $100,000," Michael said. He told the court he contacted the state rural municipal aid office and they acknowledged a math error in the online form; the state official said the award would be limited to $100,000.
Michael said he planned to submit the application and supporting materials and asked for no objections before sending the package to the state. County members agreed he should proceed and asked him to forward the application to the appropriate finance staff for processing.
No formal vote was recorded at the meeting; Michael indicated he would send the application forward and confirmed the county would budget the remaining local share if the state match is awarded.
