FY19 Work Program and Budget

Here is the link to our January edition of the Mid-MO Current which is our quarterly newsletter that highlights how the Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission staff is assisting our communities. 

January 8, 2020 – The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is accepting proposals for Long-Term Recovery funding for projects connected to the 2019 Presidential Disaster Declaration that resulted from the tornado and extensive flooding last year. This CDBG funding can be used as the local match for both FEMA Public Assistance and FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding.

Road and bridge repair, storm water improvements, and wastewater infrastructure impacted by the flooding are all eligible for this CDBG funding.

In order for projects to be considered for the CDBG Long-Term Recovery funding, communities must complete the brief proposal form that can be found here and submit it to the CDBG program. Communities that are interested in learning more about this funding opportunity are encouraged to call either Lincoln Brown or David Bock at Mid-MO RPC.

December 30, 2019 – Projects totaling $50 million were announced for the Governor’s Cost Share program. Two projects were awarded in the Mid-Missouri RPC region. One project for the City of Columbia seeks to create a connecting road between Discover Parkway/Route 63 interchange and the Rolling Hills Rd/New Haven intersection. The other project is in Jefferson City and adds three roundabouts along Clark Avenue corridor, Dunklin St., and ramp terminals for Route 50/63. This is the first year for the Governor’s Cost Share program.   

The Traffic Engineering Assistance Program (TEAP) funding application cycle is open. Applications will be accepted from July 26, 2019 to September 20, 2019. TEAP is open to local public agencies to apply for engineering assistance to study traffic engineering problems. These problems can include corridor safety and/or operational analysis, intersection safety analysis, speed limit review, sign inventory, bike/ped route analysis, and much more. ADA Transition Plans also fall within the lines of TEAP funding.

TEAP is an 80/20 reimbursement program through MoDOT with 80% funding for eligible projects up to $8,000 coming from MoDOT and the entity having a 20% match. Funds for projects must be spent in the year that they are awarded for. If a project costs more than $10,000 the entity can put more than the required 20% match toward completing the project. Check back for information as specific dates are released for applications.
