Commissioners authorize application for $368,000 CMAQ funds for 2027 dust‑suppression project
Summary
Sheridan County authorized a resolution to apply for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding for a 2027 dust suppression project estimated at $460,000, requesting $368,000 in federal funds and committing a $92,000 county match; Ken Muller authorized as project administrator if funded.
The Sheridan County Board voted Aug. 4, 2026 to authorize submission of a CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) grant application for a 2027 Dust Suppression Project.
County Engineer Ken Muller told commissioners the project is estimated at $460,000; the county will request $368,000 in federal CMAQ funds and provide the required 20% local match of $92,000. Muller also asked to be named project administrator should the grant be awarded. Commissioner Holly Jennings moved to approve the resolution and the board voted unanimously to adopt it.
Muller said the statewide CMAQ program has about $2 million available annually for applicants; many local jurisdictions submit applications. The resolution passed authorizes staff to pursue the grant and prepares the county to provide local matching funds if the award is made.
If funded, the project would proceed through county contracting and project administration under the County Engineer’s office; the board did not set a construction start date at the meeting.
