Douglas County PIER Disaster Recovery Grant Program

Grant Review and Applicant Presentations

(Douglas County, Ore.) The Douglas County Board of Commissioners Chris Boice, Tim Freeman, and Tom Kress, in conjunction with the Douglas County PIER Selection Committee are pleased to inform the public that a special meeting has been scheduled for the Douglas County Planning, Infrastructure, and Economic Revitalization Program (PIER) Disaster Grant Program for Monday, March 25, 2024, starting at 2:00 pm in Room 216 of the Douglas County Courthouse located at 1036 SE Douglas Avenue in Roseburg, Oregon. The public meeting will consist of a local PIER committee review, selected finalist applicant presentations, and a public comment period. 

 

Douglas County PIER grant finalists include the City of Sutherlin, Glide Water Association, City of Oakland, Cow Creek Tribe, and the Winston-Dillard Water District.  The Douglas County Pier Selection Committee is comprised of representatives from local government (Douglas County), local tribal government (Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians), the Economic Development District (CCD), and local Long Term Recovery Group (Glide Revitalization).  As a part of the review process, requirements from the funder Oregon Housing and Community Services Department (OCHS), this meeting has been scheduled to offer an opportunity to comment on the proposed projects.   

 

In compliance with ORS 192.610-690, we will accommodate any member of the public who wishes to watch the meeting via live stream or post meeting recording at https://video.ibm.com/channel/douglascountyoregon. We will also accommodate any member of the public who wishes to submit public comment during the public comment period. Members of the public who wish to comment can do so: (1) in person, (2) by email jennifer.miller@douglascountyor.gov or (3) by virtual format https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89925996777?pwd=9fvSNClmrhEXQPbxe0KRrNzcFFPbZA.1 using Meeting ID: 899 2599 6777 and Passcode: 007665. 

 

The PIER grant program is part of ReOregon, a program offered by the Disaster Recovery and Resilience Division (DRRD) of OCHS. ReOregon is funded by a US Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-DR). The CDBG-DR program supports community development activities to help build stronger and more resilient communities. As a part of the disaster recovery process, ReOregon awarded PIER opportunity grants to the eight most impacted counties in Oregon to fund projects to rebuild damaged infrastructure, increase resiliency, and promote long-term housing recovery and recovery of local businesses impacted by the 2020 Labor Day Fires.

 

Following the meeting, Douglas County PIER Selection Committee members will make recommendations for proposals based on the PIER project matrix criteria as provided by OHCS. The recommendations will be submitted to OHCS for final review and processing.  We anticipate announcing grant awards in early April 2024.
