County eligible for $389,197 in second grant round
Montague County Commissioners will consider participating in the County Transportation Infrastructure Fund grant, as they examine the funding agreement during its 9 a.m. July 13 meeting.
The county is eligible for $365,179 in a second round of road repair funding, but that has expanded slightly to $389,197. The court will receive notice of the grant award to all precincts during the Monday meeting.
This meeting will be available through videolink available on the county website at: co.montague.tx.us.
In the original CTIF program in 2014 Montague County received $2,664,128 to fix roads damaged by energy production work.
The 2020 round has $250 million budgeted across 254 counties, however, if all of them do not participate the county’s portion could increase. There is an 80-20 match with the county.
County officials applied back in April and this time the process was much simpler and did not require the creation of reinvestment zones. There were some 220 county roads impacted by the funding.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
