Tecumseh council backs CDBG downtown façade rehabilitation application, appoints ED Board as DTR committee
Summary
After a brief public hearing, the Tecumseh City Council unanimously approved program guidelines for a Downtown Revitalization CDBG application, authorized the mayor to sign the application, and appointed the Economic Development Board to administer the DTR committee.
A brief public hearing and several related votes Thursday led the Tecumseh City Council to approve program guidelines and authorize a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application aimed at commercial façade rehabilitation downtown.
Brittany McCullough of Southeast Nebraska Development District (SENDD) opened the item by reiterating the application terms described in the published Notice of Public Hearing. The hearing was opened at 5:02 p.m. and closed at 5:04 p.m.
Following the hearing, the council approved Downtown Revitalization (DTR) program guidelines and passed a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign the city's CDBG application for commercial rehabilitation. The council also appointed the Economic Development Board to serve as the CDBG DTR Committee. All motions carried on unanimous votes of the five members present; council member Alicia Brommer was absent.
The actions set up the city to move forward with a CDBG application to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development; the transcript does not specify an awarded grant amount or the number of participating properties. The council earlier tabled the updated 2025 Downtown Blight and Substandard Study until the Planning Commission completes its review.
Next steps recorded in the meeting transcript: the mayor is authorized to sign the application and the ED Board will serve as the administering committee for the DTR program. The council did not record any public opposition during the hearing.
