Williston OKs $7,500 facade grant for Sons of Norway and $5,000 childcare mini-match grants
Summary
The commission approved a $7,500 community grant for the Sons of Norway and two $5,000 childcare mini-match grants for Angel's Childcare and Little Blessings, all recommended by the STAR Fund and passed unanimously on June 24.
At its June 24 meeting, the Williston Board of City Commissioners approved a $7,500 Community Grant to assist the Sons of Norway with façade upgrades and repairs and two $5,000 Childcare Mini Match Grants.
Economic Development Director Anna Nelson presented the STAR Fund recommendations. Nelson said the childcare mini-match awards were intended to support an expansion (Angel's Childcare's third location) and a newly licensed provider (Mindy Pettyjohn of Little Blessings Childcare). Commissioner James Bervig moved to approve the Sons of Norway grant; Commissioner Brad Bekkedahl seconded. The motion carried 5-0. The childcare grants were approved by unanimous voice vote.
The actions allocate STAR Fund resources for building repairs and to expand local childcare capacity; the transcript does not specify additional monitoring requirements or timelines for grant disbursement.
