From the minutes, not yet reviewedWhat it does
Applies for a Helene Recovery Recycling Infrastructure Grant, and funding, enter into a contract…, and accepts it if awarded.
- Passed with the routine items, in one vote, without discussion.
- What the minutes say it will do: “This grant will align well with the solid waste master planning process, and tasks that remain unfunded, but needed, can be integrated into the long term solid waste plan.”
- Why it matters: An application asks for money. The City gets it only if the grant is awarded.
More from the minutes
- “NCDEQ is currently accepting viable, well-planned proposals for projects that will expand, rebuild, or improve waste reduction, composting, and recycling programs to improve the resiliency of the region's waste reduction infrastructure.”
