building condition. The project will be conducted utilizing a consultant and the project budget is
$48,000, with the grant request covering $28,800 and a local match of $19,200 required.
This item addresses the Council goal to "improve economic vitality of the city and promote job
growth, economic development, cultural opportunities, and housing opportunities to support job
growth and expansion and growth of tax base" through documentation and storytelling of the
historic and cultural assets of our community.
