If our unit of local government does not wish to apply for JABG funds, can we have the county or regional planning unit apply for and administer funds on our behalf?
Yes. A unit of local government that otherwise would qualify for an award can waive its right to a direct award and designate a larger governmental unit (within which it is located or is contiguous) or a regional planning unit (which plans for and administers funds on behalf of two or more local units) to receive and administer the award on its behalf.
