Walsh County Childcare project fully funded; city loan covered, nonprofit to take ownership
Summary
Stacie Sevigny told the council the Walsh County Childcare project’s prior $55,000 funding gap was closed by a grant from the Early Childhood Division (N.D. Health and Human Services), and the City’s $200,000 loan has been covered so the building will be turned over to the nonprofit debt‑free.
At the Sept. 8 City Council meeting, Stacie Sevigny reported the Walsh County Childcare project is fully funded after a recent grant from the Early Childhood Division of the North Dakota Health and Human Services Department closed a roughly $55,000 shortfall.
Sevigny told the council the $200,000 loan previously advanced by the City of Grafton has been covered and the building will be turned over to the nonprofit debt‑free. She said buses stop at the center five to seven times per day, which prompted a later discussion about loading zones and traffic safety.
The update concludes a financing phase for the project; staff and council took subsequent related actions on traffic and licensing but did not alter the project’s funding outcome.
