Approval Granted for CMAQ Funding Proposal by Sheridan Commission
Sheridan County Seeks Funding for 2026 CMAQ Dust Mitigation Program
Sheridan County has taken a significant step towards improving air quality by authorizing an application for funding for the 2026 Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) dust mitigation program. The Sheridan County Commission, in a formal resolution, has given the green light to submit the application [2][3].
The resolution, numbered as Resolution No. 25-08-020, authorizes the county to apply for funding for the CMAQ dust mitigation program. However, the specific details of the program, such as the requested amount and the timeline for the submission of the application, are not explicitly provided in the available information [1].
County Engineer, Ken Muller, explained further details about the resolution. He confirmed that the commission has voted to approve Resolution No. 25-08-020, indicating that Sheridan County is actively seeking CMAQ funds for their 2026 dust mitigation project [2][3].
The CMAQ program typically requires local matching funds and is aimed at funding projects that mitigate air quality issues related to congestion and dust [1][2]. Nearby Johnson County's CMAQ application is for a total of $418,516 with a 20% local match of $83,703, which might suggest a comparable scale for Sheridan County, though no exact figures for Sheridan are given [1].
It's worth noting that the dust mitigation program is part of the activities carried out by the county. The commission's approval of Resolution No. 25-08-020 is related to this program, but the approved Resolution does not mention any additional parties involved in the application process [1].
In summary, Sheridan County has formally approved and submitted its CMAQ funding application for the 2026 dust mitigation program. Detailed financial figures and the current status of the application (such as federal approval) are not detailed in the available information. The county, as the applicant, is seeking funding for the CMAQ dust mitigation program, but the exact amount and the timeline for the application are not specified yet.
The Sheridan County Commission, through Resolution No. 25-08-020, has initiated a political move by authorizing the application for funding for the CMAQ dust mitigation program, demonstrating their dedication to policy-and-legislation concerning general-news topics like air quality [1][2]. A closer look at Johnson County's CMAQ application suggests that Sheridan County may be seeking a comparable amount for their 2026 dust mitigation project, although the exact figures have yet to be disclosed [1].
