Commissioner asks Cordele City residents to help shape $1 million county grant application
Summary
At an MLK Day event in Cordele City, Commissioner James Nance said the county is applying for a $1 million grant to address water, sewer, streets, drainage and economic development in District One and asked residents to submit feedback via QR code and handouts.
Reverend Commissioner James Nance told attendees at the Allen Temple A Church Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration that the Chris County Board of Commissioners is preparing an application for a $1 million grant to address local infrastructure and economic‑development needs in District One.
"We are in the process of now applying for a $1 million grant to try to address some of those issues," Nance said, identifying water, sewer, streets and drainage as priority areas. He said that community input is required for the application and invited residents to scan a posted QR code or use printed handouts to describe local needs.
Nance said the county can apply for $1 million each year and urged residents to comment online so the county can reflect community priorities in its proposal. He emphasized that grant applications are strengthened by demonstrated public participation.
The commissioner did not specify the grant program name, eligibility criteria or application timeline beyond noting the annual $1 million application limit; attendees were instructed to get a QR code and handouts from Nance to submit comments. Nance thanked the church hosts and asked residents to be involved in the process.
Next steps: residents were encouraged to scan the QR code distributed at the event or contact Commissioner Nance to provide written input on local priorities for water, sewer, drainage, streets and economic development.
