At the August 2, 2011 Mullett Township Board of Trustees Meeting, Ms Karyn Warsow, MS, MPH, an experienced grant writer, again working free for Mullett Township, gave a presentation to the Board and public in attendance explaining some of the criteria the USDOT will use in their selection process for Tiger III grants.
She again explained to the Board the procedures and timelines involved in the grant application. A pre-application will hopefully be submitted with the Board's approval and cooperation. This year, up to 80% of the project cost can be covered by these grants. Mullett Township or another agency can contribute the other 20% of funds. Here is a link to Ms Warsow's Power Point presentation. Tiger III Grant
The previous application, on this link, Tiger II Grant application ,was in the amount of $2,740,172. If the Tiger III Grant is a similar amount, this year Mullett Township must commit $548,034. for a 20% match.
