Newberry CRA approves $18,750 utility extension grant for Morland Subdivision
Summary
The City of Newberry Community Redevelopment Agency unanimously approved an $18,750 utility extension assistance grant for Morgan Lee Smith’s Morland Subdivision after staff said construction costs of $131,293.62 make the parcel eligible for the program’s maximum award.
The City of Newberry Community Redevelopment Agency voted unanimously on Feb. 9 to award an $18,750 utility extension assistance grant to the Morland Subdivision, a development owned by Morgan Lee Smith.
Chelsea, CRA staff, presented the application and told the board the project’s construction costs total $131,293.62, which meets the program threshold for the maximum award. Chelsea also noted the application is the first under this program to appear before the CRA since the program’s approval by the SARE board in December.
The grant will cover utility extension work tied to the subdivision, which staff described as infill housing with single-family homes planned for the lots. A board member moved to approve the application; the motion was seconded and the CRA recorded a unanimous vote in favor.
The approval was routine; staff will proceed with grant paperwork and monitor implementation as the developer advances construction. No conditions, amendments, or follow-up reporting requirements were recorded at the meeting.
