The Village of Gilman on April 9 announced it has been awarded a $250,000 Idle Site grant and a $120,000 FIX IT grant, and that a T-Mobile grant application is pending for trails, bridge redecking and a kayak launch.
President Jane DeStaercke reported the awards and presented a plaque recognizing Village Clerk Candice Grunseth for her grant work.
