The process for Federal Congressionally Directed Spending Requests (appropriations requests) is now open. This is a competitive request process; US Senator Thom Tillis’s office is accepting these funding requests for North Carolina.
Proposed projects must be for a 12-month period beginning in Federal Fiscal Year 24. If a project is selected for sub-committee submission by Senator Tillis, it will then be reviewed by the specific Senate Appropriations Subcommittee. Senate Appropriations decisions are expected to be made in October 2023, with funding expected to be available in Spring 2024.
There are 2 proposed projects; details are provided in the attached memo.
- (Primary Project): Law Enforcement Crisis Intervention Training Program
- (Secondary Project): Rowan County Veterans Treatment Court (Rowan VTC)
Recommendation
The Director of Grants Administration/Government Relations respectfully recommends that the Board of Commissioners:
- Approve the preparing and submitting of federal funding requests for the 2 proposed projects.
- Approve the Chairman to sign letters of support for the 2 proposed projects as part of the request packet.
