The purpose of the special meeting is to pass a resolution to Commit Matching Funds Towards the Rebuild Downtowns & Main Streets Capital Grant Application.
Aaron Eckart and Charles Kujawski have been working on a Grant to get funds to repair and extend sidewalks to the New Dollar General Store. This will also include a street opening between Basic Industries and Dollar General for possible future development. The matching funds will only be used if the Grant is received.
The Village has received money thru COVID funding—American Rescue Plan Act. The Village has received half of $65,048.47 in 2021 and should receive the other half sometime this year. The Village would commit this amount plus the balance of $34,951.53 for a total of up to $100,000.00. This would be used for engineering costs, legal and administrative costs and storm water management.
