SHPO says next CLG cycle will shift focus to Wasatch Front after rural emphasis
Summary
Commissioners asked about a rural funding emphasis in the current application; SHPO replied that the previous cycle favored rural awards and that next January’s cycle will emphasize the Wasatch Front to rebalance funding.
During question-and-answer after the SHPO presentation, a commission member asked why recent instructions emphasized rural communities. Selena said that rural priority language appeared in the grant instructions given with the current cycle because many earlier awards had gone to rural projects. "This coming year... we’re gonna be looking more on the Wasatch Front this coming January," she said, adding that SHPO will emphasize that priority in the materials circulated in November and December.
Commissioners welcomed the clarification and asked SHPO to highlight any state priorities when SHPO distributes application instructions later this year. Selena agreed to emphasize state priorities in the November–December outreach to local commissions so applicants understand focus areas before filing applications in January.
