Grants

The City Council encourages and welcomes your input.

In an effort to keep the public involved and educated about grant processes, public hearings are routinely held before an application is ever submitted for most grants. At these hearings the public can hear reports involving the details of the proposed projects. An opportunity is also provided in these hearings where you may voice your views, wishes, and concerns involving the proposed project.

One of the most common misconseptions by the public is that when a grant is awarded, the City can do whatever we want with the money. Nothing could be further from the truth. We must do what we said we would do in the proposal.

The list below represents grants the City has received since August, 2003. There are some routine grants such as those used for Libranry Services and others that are not listed.
