Lancaster council hears $245,000 tax-credit award for Nutrition Site, refers contract to city attorney
Summary
The council was told the Nutrition Site received a $245,000 NAPP tax credit and plans to apply for a $675,000 CDBG grant; after questions the council voted to send the Nutrition Site contract to the city attorney and scheduled a public hearing at the next meeting.
Lancaster City Council on Feb. 10 heard that the community’s proposed Nutrition Site has been approved for a $245,000 NAPP tax credit and will pursue a $675,000 CDBG grant that opens in April, but the project team must show full control or intent of full control of the property before applying.
Darla Campbell, who spoke for the Nutrition Site project, said the group is planning a 60-by-80-foot building with a parking lot and would have three years from this year to complete the project. Representatives including Robert Seamster, Dale Vandike and Ryan from MECO Engineering answered council questions about site control, project timing and rights of refusal. Council members and staff discussed grant timing and property requirements.
After discussion and a closed-session review, the council decided to send the Nutrition Site contract to the city attorney for legal review and scheduled a public hearing on the project for the next council meeting on March 17, 2025. The council did not vote to approve the contract or to commit local matching funds at this meeting; the action taken was the attorney referral and the scheduling of a public hearing.
