The Demorest City Council unanimously approved execution of a $369,555.88 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant at its Sept. 4 special called meeting.
Mayor Jerry Harkness requested a motion to accept and execute the LWCF grant agreement; Councilman Shawn Allen moved and Councilman Andrew Ferguson seconded. The motion carried 4–0.
Why it matters: LWCF grants fund outdoor recreation and conservation projects; accepting the agreement allows staff to proceed with necessary administrative steps to obligate the award.
