Commission approves economic development contract and allows BRAG to apply for Rural County Grant

Box Elder County Commissioners · August 14, 2026

Summary

The commission approved Contract 2643 for economic development services and authorized BRAG to apply for the state Rural County Grant; the CEO board's recommended small-business and utility-match grants were described by the contracted economic director.

Sean Milne, Box Elder County's contracted economic development director, walked commissioners through the CEO board's recommendations to fund small-business matching grants, infrastructure/utility upgrades and a website dashboard. "The CEO board is recommending for your approval again this coming year to recreate these small business grants," Milne said, explaining 1:1 matching to encourage local investment.

Milne asked the commission to approve a written contract to memorialize the county's contribution and to authorize BRAG to apply for the Rural County Grant (RCG); Commissioner Perry moved to approve Contract 2643 and to allow BRAG to apply for the RCG, with Commissioner Bingham seconding both motions. The commission voted in favor of both items.
