(KLZA)--A final push is underway to raise money for the new Pawnee City assisted living facility.

President of the Assisted Living Facility Committee, John DeFreece said they’re 10 percent away from their goal of $640,000.

The remaining cost, reaching $3-4 million will be funded through a loan from the USDA.

“We’re in the process right now of filling out the application,” DeFreece said. “We have visited with them, and it sounds like we will get the loan. They will not release the funds to us until we’ve reached our goal.”

The facility, slated to boast 22 apartments, has been in the fundraising stage for 18 months, DeFreece said.

Now, they’re planning an ice cream social in the coming weeks to reach their final goal.
