BACKGROUND
The County’s Land Use and Transportation Elements, as part of the 2035 Land Use Plan, is $12,500. The County is requesting Planning Grant Funds from the GCLMPO to cover the cost of planning services with the County providing the match. $10,000 is the 80% Federal share of the total cost and the County’s local share is 20% at $2,500. The local share will not require an appropriation of fund balance.
This will allow the opportunity for the Land Use and Transportation Elements of the 2035 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update to be developed and written by the planning consultants. Interlocal agreement is attached. (Highway Planning & Construction Number 20.205)
