County moves to pursue up to $645,470.70 in state road supplemental funds
Summary
Stephens County authorized staff to apply for a state MIG supplemental grant offering up to $645,470.70 for road work; staff said the grant has a 0% state match but the county would commit roughly $122,000 already budgeted, yielding a total project cost of about $768,000 covering 10 roads (3.54 miles).
County staff told commissioners they intend to apply for a MIG supplemental grant from the state of Georgia that could provide up to $645,470.70 for road work across 10 county roads totaling 3.54 miles.
"We have the potential to receive up to $645,470.70 in supplemental funding," Staff member (S3) said, adding that the state required no matching funds but that the county intends to use an already-budgeted local match of approximately $122,000 to complete the project for an estimated total committed cost of $768,000. The project scope listed patching, leveling, resurfacing, and restriping.
Commissioner (S4) moved to approve pursuing the grant and to authorize the chairman to sign required documentation; the board approved the motion by voice vote (motion carried; exact tally not specified). Staff noted using in-house crews where feasible to realize cost savings.
