Neosho intends to apply for Community Development Block Grant funds for a McCourt Street stormwater project estimated at $1,222,597; the city plans to commit $581,747 in matching funds and pursue $640,850 in grant support.

City staff asked the council to approve pursuing Community Development Block Grant funding for a stormwater project to extend drainage past McCourt Street.

"This would allow us to pursue grant funds through CDBG for the stormwater project... The current project estimate is $1,222,597," staff said. Council authorized staff to pursue grant funding and clarified engineering and final project approval would come back to the council before construction.
