City staff told the Manor City Council on Wednesday that the city has completed requirements tied to an $850,000 community-project funding grant secured through Representative Greg Casar’s office for ground storage facilities to be built off Greg Maynor.

Why it matters: The grant will reimburse the city for previously advanced capital expenditures and make funds available for planned infrastructure. Staff said the grant will be nearly fully reimbursed to the city once federal closeout procedures are complete.

Details: A staff presentation said the funds serve as reimbursement for ground storage infrastructure work and that staff expects to complete closing steps in mid-September; Rep. Casar indicated interest in attending a ribbon-cutting for the project. The city manager and project team will publish a notice of intent in the coming week, opening a public comment period required by federal grant-closeout procedures.

Next steps: Staff said the city will publish required notices, complete environmental and closing paperwork, and provide a formal timeline for dispersal and reimbursement. Council members thanked staff for securing the funds and directed staff to proceed with the closeout and publicity steps.
