Council authorizes CDBG application for Ozark Actors Theatre façade work
Summary
Council approved a resolution authorizing submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for façade improvements to the Ozark Actors Theatre Pine Street studio. Staff said the city must be the applicant for CDBG and that, if awarded, a subrecipient agreement would be brought back for council approval.
Council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application on behalf of the Ozark Actors Theatre for façade improvements to its Pine Street studio.
Staff explained that CDBG rules require the local governing body to submit the application and that the city would act as the applicant with Ozark Actors Theatre as the subrecipient. Donna and planning staff said they will also present a future resolution to document that the Pine Street Studio meets the program’s slum‑and‑blight criteria for eligibility and that any subgrant agreement would return to council for approval if the application is successful.
Council approved the resolution authorizing the application and mayoral signature.
Why it matters: Facade improvements can improve downtown appearance and encourage economic activity; CDBG funding supports weatherization, accessibility, and exterior rehabilitation in projects targeting slum‑and‑blight areas.
What’s next: City staff will submit the application and, if the award is granted, bring a subgrant agreement to council for formal approval and contract execution.
