County awarded $1.6M federal grant for 214th Street engineering; special meeting set to accept grant
Summary
County staff announced a $1.6 million Rural and Tribal Assistance Pilot Program federal grant for engineering on the 214th Street project; commissioners scheduled a short special meeting to approve and sign the grant agreement before the grant's July 27 start date.
Commission staff told the board that Brookings County has been awarded $1,600,000 from the federal Rural and Tribal Assistance Pilot Program for engineering on the 214th Street project.
Commission Director (S21) said the grant is for engineering only and not for construction and noted the grant start date is July 27. Because the next regular meeting was after that date, staff requested a brief special meeting so the county could approve, sign and return the grant agreement in time to meet the program timeline. Commissioners agreed to a short special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Thursday to finalize acceptance.
Why it matters: A $1.6 million federal engineering grant materially advances project planning for a major county road project; timely acceptance and proper execution of grant documents are necessary to obligate the funds and begin design work.
