From the minutes, not yet reviewedWhat it does
Applies for Locally Administered Project Program funds from the french broad metropolitan planning organization…
- Passed with the routine items, in one vote, without discussion.
- What the minutes say it will do: “This project currently has a completed design, however, staff would like to revisit the project design and conduct additional community engagement to determine if changes in the design are desired.”
- The money, in the minutes' words: “The City will be responsible for providing matching funds in the amount of $1,700,000: however, matching funds for the Swannanoa Greenway project are already accounted for via the GO bond program funds dedicated to the project.”
- Why it matters: An application asks for money. The City gets it only if the grant is awarded.
