Council member Dodge (speaker 8) reported that the state Department of Commerce did not approve the city’s downtown-design application, which sought approximately $500,000 for beautification. CCOG has offered to rewrite the application pro bono for next year, and the city will use engineering work funded by a GEM grant to strengthen the next submission.
