(KLZA)--Following a public hearing Monday evening the Falls City Council approved an amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for a Falls City Foods redevelopment project.
The City Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment for the company located at 404 Pacific Street.
Falls City Foods is planning a nearly $3.7-million renovation and expansion project that will lead to the creation of 10 new jobs at the facility.
The project is eligible for tax increment financing.
Falls City Foods does processing, importing and exporting of animal by-products serving pet food and animal feed industries.
Following a public hearing drawing no public comment Monday evening the Falls City Council approved moving forward with an application for $547-thousand in Community Development Block Grant Funds for an owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program.
If approved, the funding would pay for a minimum of 18 housing improvement projects in Falls City for low to moderate income persons.
City Administrator Gary Jorn said the decision was made to apply for double the amount of CDBG funding the City usually applies for because of the overwhelming response from homeowners during the previous application period.
