Summary
Council accepted Resolution 2026-34 to accept a $1,600,000 transportation alternatives/congestion mitigation/air quality grant to fund design work for the Creek on the Blue Mile multi‑use trail; staff noted the grant requires local participation.
The Statesboro City Council voted to accept a $1,600,000 transportation alternatives/congestion mitigation/air quality grant for the "Creek on the Blue Mile" multi‑use trail project. Staff told the council the award will fund design work and that the city must provide matching participation; staff recommended acceptance of the grant.
"We had a $1,600,000 grant for the actual work," a staff member said, adding that the current acceptance approves moving forward with grant-funded design. The staff member noted the grant requires local participation and said the city will use internal resources (described in the meeting as "t squad") to meet the participation requirement.
Council members moved and seconded acceptance and called the vote with no recorded opposition. Staff will return to council with implementation details and any required local commitments.
