(KLZA)-- Pawnee City Council members voted to move forward with an application for the Community Development Block Grant for housing rehabilitation when they met Monday evening.
If successful, the grant would be in an amount of $252,000 and is intended to fund up to $25,000 for eight, rehab project on homes in Pawnee City. The City will work with Southeast Nebraska Development District on the application.
City Clerk Tammy Stephens said they already have a few applications on file, but suggested if you might be interested you come in to City Hall for an application as soon as possible. The grant is awarded on a points system, and the more pre-applications a community has, the more points scored.
No bids were received Monday evening for a property the City was trying to sell. The former Gaston property at 1138 G Street was offered. The City razed the buildings on the property, which is now an empty lot.
If someone is looking for a site for a new home, you should contact City Hall. The idea now is to offer the property for free to someone that will build a new home there.
The planned discussions on the street paving project in Pawnee City were delayed to the October 23rd Council meeting due to some scheduling problems for some of the persons involved in the project from out of town.
