In his latest blog post Mayor Friedberg talks about the grant “applications pending for several different programs, each with their own requirements and selection criteria.”
While most of the grant applications are disaster related the Mayor states that “we were awarded a grant of $693,394 for our Traffic Management System, to upgrade equipment and infrastructure and improve the functionality of 14 existing traffic signals maintained by the City. This grant requires a 20% local match.”
Relating to disaster funds he states that “we have been allocated CDBG-DR funds for two years, 2015 and 2017. Our 2015 CDBG-DR allocation, in the amount of $252,033.84, is based on our experience in the Memorial Day flood that year, and our 2017 allocation of $4,095,702 relates to Hurricane Harvey. There is no local match for either.”
