Page 19 of 23 14 Attachment A: Scop of Work CWDG Award Scope of Work and Budget Summary The following is a Summar Table from Grant County CWPP. The information is a summary of the Project Budget Explanation and Accomplishments questions. Project Purpose: The purpose of this project is to update the existing Grant County Community Wildfire Protection Plan which was originally signed in 2016. The intent of the update is to examine changes that have occurred to the wildland-urban interface areas within Grant County in the 7 years since the last plan update. Grant County's population continues to rise., with the 2020 census showing an increase of approximately 10,000 people between 2010 and 2020, and an additional estimated 2.2% increase between 2020 and 2022. As communities grow, they expand into areas that were previously designated as wildland, increasing the risk of fire incidents in the wildicand-urban interface. An undated CWPP will assist the cities --and towns within F Grant County to better plan for, and mitigate against, the impacts of wildland fire in North Central Washington. Additionally, an updated CWPP will serve to supplement ty A and eventually replace the wildfire chapter of the Grant Coun 1-%il Hazards Mitigation Plan.
