Board seeks grant for second access road; proposes up to $500,000 for community support
Summary
The board announced pursuing a grant (deadline Nov. 14) to create a second access road to 'Poughiki,' citing a $6 million allocation for eruption-affected communities and proposing to request up to $500,000 with a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor.
The board is preparing a grant application due Nov. 14 to fund creation of a second access route to Poughiki. President (Speaker 7) said the grant round includes $6,000,000 allocated for the eruption-affected community and that the association will include planning, environmental assessments and engineering costs in the proposal.
Speaker 7 said the association can ask "up to $500,000" under the program with a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor and that the application will require coordination with planning and engineering departments. The board discussed next steps including securing a fiscal sponsor, refining the scope of work and budgeting for the required environmental assessments and engineering design.
No decision was made on specific contractor selection or on matching funds. The board asked volunteers and staff to move forward with a draft application and return with cost estimates and an implementation timeline for review.
