Commission agrees to sign letter supporting Main Street’s T‑Mobile wayfinding grant
Summary
Commissioners authorized the mayor to sign a letter of support for Main Street's application to T‑Mobile's hometown grant program seeking $50,000 to begin a wayfinding project; staff emphasized this is the final round of the grant and no local match is required.
The commission approved a staff request to provide a letter of support for Main Street's application to the T‑Mobile Hometown Grant for a wayfinding-plan project.
Staff presenter Eiza described the program and said the city is requesting the full $50,000 grant amount; she emphasized there is no local match required. "This is the last chance that we have to get in on this one," Eiza said, and added the grant would fund a phase of the city's wayfinding plan; if awarded, the team will return to the commission before purchasing or installing signs to discuss content and locations.
Commissioners voted to approve the draft letter and authorized the mayor to sign the version on file; staff noted other letters of support have been requested from the Chamber of Commerce, the museum and the visitor center.
Next steps: staff will submit the application with the city's letter and return to the commission for final sign-off on any installed signage if the grant is awarded.
