Commissioners approve emergency resolution to pursue LHTAC grant for Heise Bridge with $220,200 county match
Summary
The Jefferson County commissioners unanimously approved Resolution #2026-14 to submit an LHTAC grant application for the Heise Bridge project, citing prior county spending and a required local match estimated at $220,200.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted Jan. 20 to approve Resolution #2026-14, authorizing submission of a Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) grant application for the Heise Bridge project. Commissioner Clark read the resolution into the record and said the estimated county match is $220,200.
Chairman Hancock told the board the item was added to the agenda on an emergency basis because the county has already spent money on the project and risks losing the grant if the application is not filed this week. Commissioner Clark moved to amend the agenda to include the resolution and later moved to approve the resolution; both motions passed on unanimous roll calls.
The action authorizes staff to pursue LHTAC funding to move the Heise Bridge project forward with the county committed to the stated local match. The board did not record additional project details or a schedule during the meeting; staff follow‑up on next steps was not specified on the record.
