Shay Morrison, the R6 representative, introduced themself and described how they plan to engage with Millard County communities, including attending council meetings and coordinating with planning commissions.
Morrison said the mandatory Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) workshop to be eligible for the program will be held Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. in Richfield, and that the region’s growth summit will be Oct. 22 with breakouts and registration available by QR code. On grant policy, Morrison said R6 removed a $250,000 project cap this year and shifted priority to critical infrastructure (water, roads, sewer), which should increase total funding available for projects in the region.
Morrison also gave a CIB update, noting the board had a record number of applications and that funding now includes more loans and higher interest rates (examples cited as high as about 3% on some projects). Morrison encouraged applicants to coordinate early with R6 staff.
