During the September 9, 2025, Fulton City Council meeting, a significant resolution was passed that aims to enhance the city’s infrastructure and address stormwater management issues. The council unanimously approved Resolution 35 90, which authorizes the mayor to enter into a contract with the Mid Missouri Regional Planning Commission (MMRPC). This partnership will facilitate the administration of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) specifically for the Westminster Avenue stormwater tunnel project.

The approval of this resolution is a crucial step in improving the city’s stormwater management system, which is vital for preventing flooding and ensuring the safety of residents. By securing funding through the CDBG, the city can implement necessary upgrades to its infrastructure, ultimately benefiting the community by reducing the risk of water-related issues.

In addition to the main resolution, the council engaged in discussions about other community needs and projects, although details on those topics were not highlighted in the transcript. The focus on stormwater management reflects the city’s commitment to addressing environmental concerns and improving the quality of life for its residents.

As Fulton moves forward with this project, the council’s decision underscores the importance of proactive measures in urban planning and community development. The next steps will involve coordinating with the MMRPC to ensure the effective use of grant funds and timely completion of the stormwater tunnel project, which is expected to have a lasting positive impact on the area.
