Mass Notification System Replacement for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively transitioning away from its current mass notification vendor while managing a declared State of Emergency due to widespread flooding, exposing a critical gap in reliable public alerting. Continuity of emergency communications is essential to protect residents and meet operational readiness standards.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program, with a July 2026 deadline, provides a direct funding path for alert and warning systems, and upcoming FY2027 budget hearings in August–September 2026 offer a secondary planning window. Acting now ensures uninterrupted emergency alerting capability and positions the county to maximize available grant funding.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county currently meets WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards but must achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance under the DOJ ADA Title II Web and Mobile Accessibility Rule by April 26, 2027. Failure to comply exposes the county to legal liability and risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential public services and digital resources.
The opportunity
With the April 2027 federal deadline approaching, the current fiscal planning cycle is the critical window to fund and implement compliant solutions. Upcoming FY2027 budget hearings present a timely opportunity to secure appropriations, and the county's existing CMS platforms support a streamlined path to full compliance.
IT & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Muskegon County's annual IT and software spend exceeds $1 million, reflecting an active technology environment, yet endpoint management capabilities remain unaddressed. The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly identifies IT management tooling as an eligible investment category, creating both a compliance-aligned and operationally relevant funding pathway.
The opportunity
The HSGP deadline in July 2026 provides a near-term funding trigger, while FY2027 budget hearings in August–September 2026 offer a timely window to advance IT modernization proposals. Recent county technology contract activity signals readiness to act, and aligning this project now maximizes grant eligibility and budget cycle positioning.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An independent audit recommendation tied to grant-handling practices has exposed gaps in access controls and credential management, elevating compliance and accountability risk. Strengthening privileged access governance is critical to protecting public funds, sensitive systems, and audit readiness.
The opportunity
The HSGP funding window through July 2026 explicitly covers cybersecurity tooling, and upcoming FY2027 budget hearings in August–September 2026 provide a clear procurement pathway. Acting now aligns remediation with both the audit timeline and available grant funding, reducing financial and compliance exposure.
