Llano County approves reapplication for $6.45 million congressional grant to design new Criminal Justice Center

The Llano County Commissioners Court on March 11 approved reapplying, if required, for a 2023 Congressional Community Project Funding grant of $6,450,000 to design and build a new Criminal Justice Center in Llano County.

The motion to approve the reapplication was made by Commissioner Linda Raschke and seconded by Commissioner Jerry Don Moss; the court recorded the vote as unanimous. County officials did not provide additional timeline or procurement details during the open session.

The reapplication approval does not itself obligate county funds; the court characterized the action as permission to reapply if the grant process requires it. The item was presented and voted on under Agenda Item #13. No public comment was recorded on this agenda item.

The court took no separate action at the meeting to allocate design or construction funding beyond the grant application; any future steps to accept or obligate funds would require subsequent board action.
