At a special April 2 meeting the Decatur City Council voted unanimously to select Kimley Horn to prepare a community development block grant application for downtown revitalization, with staff saying the firm scored highest in a six-proposal review and the city aims to submit by April 7.
The Decatur City Council on April 2 voted unanimously to select engineering firm Kimley Horn to prepare a community development block grant (CDBG) application of up to $1,000,000 aimed at downtown revitalization.
City staff described the selection as the result of a competitive review. "We used 5 staff evaluators to grade a total of 6 packets that came in," a staff member said, adding that "Kimley Horn was the highest scoring packet." Staff recommended awarding professional services to Kimley Horn to allow the city to meet an April 7 submission deadline.
