Groves wins $250,000 state grant for comprehensive plan; contract with state to follow
Summary
City staff announced the city's comprehensive‑plan application was approved for $250,000; staff said the next step is state contract approval, likely in December, to restart the planning process after the first of the year.
City staff told the Groves City Council that the city's application for a comprehensive plan grant was approved for $250,000. "We received word Friday that our application for comprehensive plan was approved for a quarter million dollars," a staff member said on the record.
Staff said the grant will restart the city's comprehensive‑planning process sometime after the first of the year and that the next administrative step is approval of a contract with the state, which staff expected to receive and process in December. No contract text or budget breakdown was presented at the meeting; staff characterized this as the appropriation award and said further council action will be required to accept and contract for the funds.
Council members welcomed the news. The announcement was made as part of the reports portion of the agenda; council did not take a formal vote on the grant acceptance at that meeting and directed staff to bring the contract back for formal action when available.
