ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Consider and take action on Resolution No. 16-034, approving the submission of the Gulf Coast Center's application to receive Federal Transportation Funding and for Texas City to provide $400,000 as local match. (Planning)
BACKGROUND
Texas City and Gulf Coast Center have been working together on a project to construct a park-and-ride lot along with a building to house CONNECT TRANSIT's administrative operations. The building will also provide approximately 3,600 sf of space for the City's Emergency Management operations.
The Federal Transit Administration has issued a Notice of Funding Availability for bus facilities. This project is a strong candidate for that funding. The limit of federal funding would be $2,400,000 with a requirement for $600,000 to come from local resources. Gulf Coast Center has already pledged $200,000 and Texas City will provide the balance of local funding, $400,000.
There is an attached "White Paper" that provides more detail regarding the project.
