The application must describe the activities for which the grant will be used. (b) The activities funded must be consistent with the metropolitan policy plan and the county plan. (c) A grant must be matched by equal local expenditures for the activities for which the grant is made. A local expenditure may include, but is not limited to, an expenditure by a local unit of government, tribal government, or private sector or nonprofit organization.
