(KLZA)--Pawnee City officials are seeking permission to use City Revolving Loan Funds to eliminate slum and blighted areas in the downtown area.
If approved by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, the City could use the funds to repair and upgrade building, including electrical, plumbing and HVAC to meet state standards. In addition, under the proposal, funds could be used to upgrade structures to meet ADA standards and for curb cutting to meet ADA regulations.
During the December 26th Pawnee City Council meeting, Crystal Dunnekacke with Southeast Nebraska Development District discussed the ongoing process with the Council.
If the proposal is approved, the City could use the funds to make improvements to the Kobza Building in downtown Pawnee City which has been offered to the City. Currently the building is not usable.
