The Floyd County Commission has authorized Public Works to apply for a $210,990 Tire Products Grant from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.
The proposed $525,040 project would combine the requested grant with $314,050 from the 2027 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant project list.
Budget changes would return to the board if the grant is awarded and presented for acceptance.
Floyd County has completed three resurfacing projects using a modified rubber asphalt compound, which uses recycled tires in the mix.
They were on Terhune Road, Rush Chapel Road, and Turner Road.
Also, during their Tuesday meeting, commissioners authorized the Emergency Management Agency to apply for $6,500 from the 2026 Georgia Power Foundation Program for equipment improvements.
The board also approved equal revenue and expense adjustments of $6,500 each, with no net budget effect.
