Walker council approves $10,000 sidewalk grant program with 50% homeowner match
Summary
The council approved a FY27 sidewalk grant program with $10,000 available on a first-come, first-served basis to reimburse homeowners 50% for sidewalk repair or replacement; a permit (no fee) and estimates/billing are required.
The Walker City Council approved a sidewalk grant program for fiscal year 2027 that will provide $10,000 in matching funds to homeowners for sidewalk repair or replacement.
Under the program, homeowners will be eligible for a 50% match; applicants must submit an estimate to city hall, obtain a permit (no fee), and, after work is completed, provide a copy of the final billing to receive the city reimbursement. Funds will be dispersed on a first-come, first-served basis until the $10,000 allocation is exhausted. The motion to proceed was made by Kyle Glenn and seconded by Austin Prose and passed 5-0.
Council directed that questions be directed to city hall for program details. The minutes do not record specifics on allowable contractors or maximum reimbursement per property; those details will be available with the application materials at city hall.
