County hires Purdue Fort Wayne for help with federal highway grant applications
Summary
Allen County approved an agreement with Purdue Fort Wayne to assist in preparing federal funding applications for the Leesburg/Butler/Haemar Roundabout and a Parrot Road project; PFW will help collect data, draft recommendation letters and support applications after submission.
Allen County Highway Director Bill Hartman asked commissioners to approve an agreement with Purdue Fort Wayne (PFW) to provide technical assistance and application support for federal highway funding. PFW will collect and analyze project information, complete application materials, draft letters of recommendation and provide post-submission support for applications tied to the Leesburg/Butler/Haemar Roundabout and a Parrot Road project. The board approved the agreement 3-0 (mover Ronald Turpin; second Therese Brown).
Hartman said the assistance is needed because federal funding programs are intricate and PFW offers proficiency in the application process. The agreement authorizes county staff to work with PFW on application preparation and follow-up but the transcript does not specify the contract amount or duration.
