Byron authorizes pursuit of two GDOT sidewalk grants with $490,000 total local match
Summary
City Administrator Tiffany Sandefur was authorized to pursue two GDOT Transportation Alternatives Program sidewalk grants: one requiring a $350,000 local match (Main Street to Peach Shops) and another requiring a $140,000 match (Main Street to Freshway). Council approval was unanimous.
The Byron council on Feb. 10, 2025, authorized City Administrator Tiffany Sandefur to pursue two GDOT Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant options for sidewalks. One application is for Main Street to the Peach Shops with a $350,000 local match requirement; the second is from Main Street to Freshway with a $140,000 local match. The council voted unanimously to authorize pursuit of both grants.
Council recorded the two distinct match amounts in the motion; the combined local match obligation would be $490,000 if both grants and matching commitments proceed. The authorization directs the city administrator to pursue the grant applications; any final acceptance would require future council action to commit matching funds and finalize project scope.
