County to apply for $2 million USDOT Type 3 bridge grant with no local match
Summary
Staff told the court the county will apply for a USDOT Type 3 highway bridge replacement and rehabilitation grant seeking $2,000,000 for a county-owned wooden bridge; the program requires no local match and the court approved the application.
County staff presented a USDOT Type 3 highway bridge replacement and rehabilitation program and recommended applying for $2,000,000 to replace a county-owned wooden bridge over irrigation. Staff emphasized the grant requires no local match, allowing the county to use federal funds instead of local tax dollars.
A commissioner moved to approve submitting the grant application; the court voted to apply. Staff and commissioners discussed bridge options and the goal of a more permanent solution than repeatedly patching the existing timber structure.
