CDBG-DR FUND 42 CDBG-DR Honeysuckle Period of Performance ends 12/30/2023. There may be minor grant closeout items needed; however, funds should be expended before 12/30/2023. FMA 2019 Set to expire on 9/23/2024. SEDA-COG sent one last invoice last week for the final site visit. Once the final payment is made, then we can confirm to PEMA and the State can issue the return of funds letter. We anticipate this grant will be closed out by the end of 2023. FMA Swift Current A budget of $351,241 has been awarded for this elevation project (334 E. 9th Street). We are awaiting a fully executed Agreement between PEMA and the Town to be released (the Town has signed). Once a fully executed Agreement is in place, SEDA-COG will present a PSA for project management/grant administration. Once a PSA is in place, SEDA-COG will begin work to draft an RFQ for Engineering services. Goal is for an engineer to be on board before the end of 2023, have the engineer begin their work (design, specifications) in early 2024, and let the bids in the spring (pending no issues) with construction in 2024. FMA 2022- We have not been notified if the 102 Leonard Street acquisition/ demolition has been selected/ identified for further review.
