City announces $1.125 million state grant for Papio Bay renovation
Summary
City staff reported Papillion was selected to receive a $1,125,000 Civic and Community Center Financing Fund grant from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development to help fund renovation of Papio Bay.
Papillion city staff told the City Council on April 1 that the city has been selected to receive $1,125,000 from the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund to support renovations at Papio Bay. The award is a state grant administered through the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
City staff said the grant will help close a financing gap the city is facing after losing a local source of sales tax revenue. The administrator acknowledged Tracy Grama and Robin Lance for submitting the grant application and described the award as competitive; staff noted the city’s previous receipt of a similar grant in 2018 for $750,000 for another community center project.
No council vote was required at Tuesday’s meeting for acceptance; staff presented the award as an informational item during the administrator’s report and indicated further reporting and project steps will follow as the city incorporates the funds into renovation planning.
