Broken Bow council approves 'Bandstand on the Bricks' creative district grant application
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 2023-4 authorizing the City of Broken Bow to serve as the governmental entity for the "Bandstand on the Bricks" Creative District grant and agreed to the related memorandum of understanding and submitted letters of support.
The Broken Bow City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2023-4 on April 25, authorizing the City of Broken Bow to participate as the governmental entity for a Creative District grant called "Bandstand on the Bricks."
The measure, moved by Councilmember Paul Holland and seconded by David Baltz, formalizes the city's participation in a memorandum of understanding that lists the City of Broken Bow, the Custer Economic Development Corporation (CEDC), the Broken Bow Chamber of Commerce and the Broken Bow Public Library as partners. Broken Bow Chamber Director Stephanie Grafel presented the proposal and identified letters of support from Nebraska State Bank, Adams Land and Cattle, and Becton Dickinson & Co.
Why it matters: the designation and associated grant funding are intended to support downtown cultural programming and place-making centered on the "Bandstand on the Bricks" concept. The council closed the public hearing at 6:42 p.m. and voted to adopt the resolution; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
What happens next: the resolution authorizes the city to act as the governmental applicant for the grant and to execute the associated MOU and letters of support; the minutes do not specify grant amount, timeline, or next application deadlines.
