Rebekah Burns, Executive Director, Powell Economic Partnership (PEP) – RE: Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program
Ms. Burns introduced Jessica Williams, Grant Manager for PEP. Ms. Burns presented two potential grants that could be applied for to pay for a transportation plan county wide. The Governor’s $100,000 matching funds from Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act match could be used to secure a $400,000 Federal Grant to create a County-Wide Comprehensive Safety & Transportation Action Plan for improving safety of all roads for all modes of transportation.
​After completing this process, it could potentially open doors to other funding sources which require a transportation plan. Commissioner Mangold moved to approve the Safe Streets & Roads for All and Governor’s match with signatures, if necessary, Commissioner Steward seconded. Commissioner Thiel suggested the Governors grant be approved first before proceeding to the Federal level after discussions the motion remained the same and the motion carried.
Adjourn.
