State awards $1.92 million to Tift County for Phillipsburg flood and water projects
Summary
Staff told commissioners the county won a $1.92 million state disaster recovery award to fund street and water improvements in the Phillipsburg neighborhood; estimated project cost is $2,235,994 with a county match of $315,994.
County staff reported the state awarded Tift County $1,920,000 through a Georgia disaster recovery program to assist with street and water system improvements in the Phillipsburg neighborhood.
Staff said the estimated project cost is $2,235,994 and that the county match will be $315,994. The award was described as a timely opportunity; staff credited consultants and grant writers for a rapid submittal that helped secure the funding. The project was previously prepared as part of a CDBG/VG application and staff noted that the new award reduces the county’s required local share compared with other potential funding scenarios.
Staff recommended the board accept the award; no formal vote is recorded in the workshop transcript. The matter will appear on the regular meeting agenda for formal action and any contracting or procurement steps that follow.
Ending — The board was briefed on next steps and staff said they will return with implementing details and budget adjustments for formal approval.
