Cheney council approves submission of HEAL grant application for 412 N Main renovation
Summary
At a Dec. 30 special meeting the Cheney City Council unanimously approved submitting a HEAL grant application to support renovation of 412 N Main; the city would administer funds if the grant is awarded in March. The building owner plans a grocery and a golf-car business.
Cheney’s City Council voted unanimously Dec. 30 to let the city submit a HEAL grant application to support planned renovations at 412 N Main and authorized Mayor Philip Mize to sign required certification documents.
City Administrator Danielle Young told the council the Kansas Department of Commerce HEAL grant is open and applications are due Dec. 31. Staff has been working with Jonas Stucky, the new owner of 412 N Main, on an application that, if funded in March, would be administered by the City and disbursed to the project.
Young described Stucky’s proposed work on the 1964 building: a new truss-style roof, updated HVAC, new flooring, replacement windows and doors, and utility upgrades. She said the north half of the building is intended to house a grocery and the south half would operate Stucky’s golf-car business; renderings were shown to the council.
Councilmember Jeff Albers moved to approve submission of the application and to authorize the mayor to sign a Letter of Commitment and required certificates; Councilmember Ryan Graf seconded. The record shows Councilmembers Albers, Tyler Cramer, Ryan Graf and Greg Williams voted yes.
The application deadline is Dec. 31; Young said applicants must be a city, county or nonprofit with a co-applicant who owns the business. Young told the council the grant decision is expected in March and that the City would serve as the grant administrator and disburse funds if awarded. The motion passed unanimously.
The council took no additional action at the meeting beyond authorizing the application; the grant award is not guaranteed and any subsequent agreements or disbursements would require further staff work and appropriate approvals.
