County authorizes FY2025 CDBG application and obligates $47,500 match
Summary
The board unanimously approved a resolution to file a FY2025 Community Development Block Grant application (up to $1,000,000) and separately passed a resolution obligating $47,500 from county funds as required match/leveraging for the application.
On March 4 the Chattahoochee County Commission voted unanimously to authorize filing a Fiscal Year 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for a Community Facilities Program in Chattahoochee County, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000. Commissioner Jason Frost made the motion to file the application and Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The board then passed a separate resolution obligating $47,500 from county funds to serve as cash match and leverage for the grant application, contingent on an award.
The county included a Letter of Agreement from the River Valley Regional Commission (RC) committing RC staff time to prepare the application and outlining an application fee ($750 for a new application, $500 for a rewrite) and post‑award management assistance if the application is successful. The CDBG resolution adopted on the record states the chair is authorized to execute the application and provide additional information as required by the Department of Community Affairs. The resolution text recorded by the clerk names the program and sets the maximum request amount explicitly at $1,000,000.
