# 09/23/2026 Committee Meetings - Economic Growth & Development

The Warren County Economic Growth & Development Committee met on September 23, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related matters. Key topics included the approval of federal and county funding allocations for workforce development programs, with a noted reduction in federal WEOA funds to $410,000 and discussions about increasing county contributions to offset cuts. The committee approved multiple resolutions to accept state grants for local waterfront revitalization projects, including multi-use trail construction and infrastructure improvements in partnership with the town of Johnsburg, with no additional county funds required beyond previously budgeted amounts. They also approved a $50,000 county match for a Department of State Local Government Efficiency Program grant aimed at developing a long-term EMS plan, which could leverage further state funding for implementation. Additionally, the committee reviewed ARPA fund allocations for community development projects and discussed upcoming bids for septic system replacements under a community block grant program. The planning and GIS departments presented their budgets and upcoming projects, including a municipal culvert inventory and recreation mapper updates. The meeting included discussions on workforce challenges, youth employment initiatives, and potential consolidation of workforce development boards. Motions related to contract approvals, grant acceptances, and budget allocations were passed, reflecting ongoing efforts to leverage state and federal funds for county economic and infrastructure development.
