Mannsville board to apply for FEMA hazard-mitigation grant to fund street project
Summary
Water operator Norm Jones told trustees the village will apply for a FEMA hazard-mitigation grant—due April 30—that could cover up to 75% of eligible street-project costs; the board agreed to pursue the funding for the street project.
The Village of Mannsville will apply for a FEMA hazard-mitigation grant to help pay for a planned street project, the village's water operator reported at the April 1 meeting.
Water operator Norm Jones said the hazard-mitigation assessment is complete and that Ryan McIntosh provided grant information. Jones told trustees the application deadline is April 30 and that "FEMA could pay up to 75% of the projects applied for." The board indicated it will target the street project for the application and directed staff to proceed with the grant paperwork.
Why it matters: a successful FEMA award would substantially reduce the village's local share for street repairs. Next steps include finalizing the application materials before the April 30 deadline and coordinating any required project scope and cost estimates with Ryan McIntosh and village staff.
