Summary

Dan Kaye Hayeatt of Blackhawk Hills briefed the committee on recent regional planning work and funding opportunities. He noted six completed walkability assessments that will be documented for communities to use in grant applications, and highlighted a housing‑design competition that received 11 entries and six awards and is currently on exhibit at a public library; "You can also go to the website, thehousing.blackhawkhills.com to see winners and just all the entries," he said.
Hayeatt described a small community funding pilot that funded two entities (public‑health/public‑safety projects) as a test of local idea funding, and discussed capital‑improvement planning assistance the agency can provide to counties and small municipalities. He urged keeping hazard‑mitigation plans current to preserve eligibility for federal BRIC funds and described a rural and tribal assistance pilot to study intersection improvements on US 20.
