County pursues CDBG grants to plan rural firehouse upgrades and support workforce recruitment
Summary
Cowley County will pursue two CDBG grants—a five-year strategic plan to build or remodel rural fire district buildings (starting with Rural Fire District 2 in Atlanta) and a workforce recruitment/retention proposal—with potential county contribution capped at $15,000 for both projects.
County Administrator Lucas Goff told commissioners the county is pursuing two Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications: a five-year strategic plan to build or remodel rural fire district buildings (first focused on Rural Fire District 2 in Atlanta) and a workforce recruitment and retention project led by Economic Development Coordinator Jessica Falk. Commissioners expressed support for pursuing both non-competing CDBG applications.
Goff said the county’s possible funding for both projects combined would not exceed $15,000. Commissioners did not approve a specific county appropriation at the meeting; they indicated support to pursue the grant opportunities. Staff or applicants will need to submit application details and any required local-match documentation.
