BACKGROUND:
Union County has prepared an Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Marshville to support park improvements funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The County receives CDBG funds from HUD and will administer lighting, fencing, and related safety and accessibility upgrades at a public park located on Olive Branch Road in Marshville. These improvements meet the CDBG national objective of benefiting low- and moderate-income residents.
Under the agreement, Union County will retain full responsibility for procurement, environmental review, financial management, monitoring, reporting, and overall compliance with federal grant requirements. The Town of Marshville will cooperate by providing site access, coordinating work, supporting community engagement, and assuming responsibility for all ongoing maintenance and operation of the improvements once the project is complete. The Town will not receive or directly expend CDBG funds.
A separate project agreement will be executed for contracted construction services. The interlocal agreement outlines each party’s obligations, indemnification provisions, term, termination rights, and compliance with applicable federal and state regulations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
