Commissioners approve several transit grants including $230,232 5311 admin request
Summary
The board approved multiple state transit grants for Macon County Transit — including a $230,232 5311 admin request with a $34,536 local share — and authorized a bundled resolution covering all the grants presented.
Darlene, the transit presenter, walked commissioners through a series of federal and state grant applications for Macon County Transit and asked the board to approve them. She told the board: “This is an $85.15 grant, and we're asking for $230,232 in the grant and the local share for this grant is 34,536.”
Commissioners opened and closed public hearings for the 5311 admin, 5310 elderly/disabled, combined capital and a concept grant for the Asheville/WNC Express route, then approved each request by motion and voice. The board also approved a resolution to accept the package of grants; staff recorded the total grants amount discussed as $604,371 with the county portion discussed during the motions. Commissioners noted that most of the transit matches will be covered by transit program funds rather than county general fund dollars.
