Evart secures grant-writing funds for Safe Streets For All application; runway needs repair by 2028, staff says
Summary
City Manager Pepper Lockhart said the City of Evart was awarded funds to pay for grant writing for a Safe Streets For All application and that an airport report shows the runway will require repair by 2028; staff are pursuing airport grant options.
City Manager Pepper Lockhart updated the council on grant-seeking activity. Lockhart said the city was awarded funding to pay for the grant-writing process for a Safe Streets For All application, a federal program that supports planning and infrastructure to reduce roadway deaths and serious injuries. The council was informed that the award covers the cost of pursuing that application rather than funding construction.
Lockhart also noted that the city's last airport report identified the runway will require repair by 2028, and staff are actively exploring grant opportunities to address that need so council will have options when repair decisions and budgeting occur. No funding decisions were made at the work session; staff will return with specifics when grant applications or project scopes are ready for formal council action.
