Board pledges $10,000 match for Conservation master plan grant application
Summary
Marshall County approved $10,000 in matching support for Marshall County Conservation's letter of intent to the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation for a $50,000 facility master planning project, contingent on foundation approval.
Marshall County Conservation Director Emily Herring asked the Board for support of a letter of intent to the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation to fund a comprehensive facilities master plan estimated at $50,000. Herring said Conservation has secured $30,000 and is seeking the remaining $20,000 through grant funding and local support; she requested the Board commit $10,000 in matching funds contingent on Foundation approval.
County Auditor/Recorder Nan Benson confirmed approximately $80,000 remains in the undesignated Economic Development fund, and the Board voted 3-0 to approve the $10,000 match contingent upon the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation approving the project. Herring said the master plan would include conceptual designs, cost estimates, and multi-language public engagement.
