The Randolph County Quorum Court adopted a resolution authorizing the county to apply for fiscal year 2026 funds from the Delta Regional Authority and designated the county judge to administer the award.
According to the resolution read by the presenter (speaker 2), the DRA is a federal–state partnership that serves counties within an eight-state region. The resolution records that the county proposes to apply for an award, designates the county judge to perform all duties of administration for the award, authorizes the judge to execute applications and closing documents, and states that no local match or in-kind contribution is required. The resolution further provides that in the event of an administration change the designation continues with a new judge.
Why it matters: DRA awards are a source of federal economic-development funds for eligible counties; designating an authorized official and clarifying the absence of a required local match clears administrative hurdles for application and potential award.
What’s next: Administrative staff will proceed with the application process under the authorized signatory.
