Lowndes County submits resolution to seek CDBG‑DR funds for Riverside Road, selects Innovate Engineering
Summary
County staff said Lowndes County will apply for 2026 CDBG‑DR funds for Riverside Road; the board selected Innovate Engineering as engineer of record and approved a resolution authorizing the Southern Georgia Regional Commission to submit the application.
Lowndes County authorized staff to move forward with a 2026 Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) application for Riverside Road and approved a resolution required for submission.
Mr. McLeod told commissioners that the application requires federal conflict-of-interest disclosures and that staff’s review found no apparent conflicts related to the proposed target area. He also reviewed the engineering selection process: staff solicited proposals, received 11 submissions (10 met requirements), and ranked Lovell Engineering & Associates, Innovate Engineering and Access Engineering as the top three. The board approved Innovate Engineering as the engineer of record.
Mr. McLeod noted schedule expectations: the grant application deadline was moved to October 5, and the county would typically be notified of award decisions by the end of the year or the start of the next year. The board approved a resolution allowing the Southern Georgia Regional Commission to complete and submit the final application on the county’s behalf.
“...the grant application... is due October 5,” Mr. McLeod said when asked about the deadline. The motion to authorize the chairman to sign the resolution carried by voice vote.
