Just noticed this reply.  I’m not completely sure a feasibility study would be eligible.  Undergrounding utilities definitely would be, but a feasibility study alone is tough to draw a straight line to a benefit for downtown businesses.  Can you make an argument that the funding is there, or relatively accessible to do the work if this study is completed?  That this project is ready to move forward but for the completion of this feasibility study?  That’s a best case scenario.  Otherwise you would have to hope that the County is willing to use some of the flexible funding strategies that David identified.

We applied for funds for our Underground Utility feasibility study. Lyndsey actually put the application together. The ARP committee looked over our application and said it qualified, and gave the commissioners the green light to move forward on the project. Now the County Treasurer is saying he doesn’t want the Commissioners to vote yes because he doesn’t think that Infrastructure is allowed.

Are you asking for funding for your organization or for a specific project?

Hi there! We are going into a meeting with the County Commissioners here in Gold Beach tomorrow. Our county treasurer is saying that Gold Beach Main Street’s project is not eligible for the ARPA funds. I was hoping to get some guidelines that show we are eligible. We are stressing a bit about this, and trying to combat any negativity.

Thanks!
