Summary

The board approved a contract with the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission to support a grant application and voted to submit an Appalachian Regional Commission grant application, both approved 4-0 to seek outside technical assistance and ARC funding for county projects.

Dawson County commissioners voted unanimously on May 21 to authorize a contract with the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission (GMRC) to prepare a grant application to the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), and separately approved the ARC grant application itself.

The GMRC contract is intended to provide regional technical support for the county’s submission; the minutes record a 4-0 vote to approve the contract and a separate 4-0 vote to submit the ARC application (motions recorded Stowers/Bruce and Bruce/Turkett, respectively). The minutes do not specify the project scope or the requested ARC funding amount. Board action enables county staff and the regional commission to proceed with application materials and any required follow-up.
