Jackson County Board of Commissioners Study Session - June 2nd, 2026

The Jackson County Board of Commissioners held a study session on June 2, 2026, which included a public hearing related to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application. The board discussed the grant application process, noting that the city within the county is an entitlement city and thus receives CDBG funds directly, while the county is applying separately. The board concurred with a prior vote from May to proceed with the grant application, acknowledging that formal submission would follow after approval of meeting minutes and additional documentation. Additionally, the board addressed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) appeal concerning the denial of a request for documents that do not exist, confirming the denial after legal consultation. No new contracts or procurement awards were made during this session, but the CDBG grant application represents a potential funding opportunity for county development projects.
