County to vote on reworking its $25M federal BUILD grant deal
Teton County commissioners on July 7 are set to vote on a second amended FY2020 BUILD grant agreement that would reshuffle project pieces (including dropping transit signal prioritization), extend deadlines to Dec. 15, 2027, and change funding drawdown rules.
Teton County commissioners are set to vote Tuesday on a second amended and restated agreement for the county’s $25 million federal FY2020 BUILD Transportation Grants Program award, the pot that’s been paying for a string of ID-33 and WY-22 corridor projects from Driggs to Jackson. Staff say the revision would drop the transit signal prioritization component, shift more federal dollars into the Stilson Transit Center and the Teton Pass Trail, and extend the project’s period of performance to Dec. 15, 2027 agenda.
The staff report pegs the total eligible project cost at $47,152,550, with $25,000,000 in BUILD funds, and the rest split across other federal, state, local, and other sources. One local detail to watch from a commuter angle is the request to defer local match, meaning the county would “Draw down 100% of federal funds prior to utilization of local funds,” a move staff frame as a way to fully use federal money before it expires on Sept. 30, 2027 staff report.
