Mayor cites possible federal grant for municipal building; bathroom flooring prioritized
Summary
Mayor Carla Coley said a Congressional Directed Spending request to Senator Jon Ossoff was submitted for municipal building renovations; the city would provide a 45% local match (about $179,000) if awarded and she urged prioritizing bathroom flooring as an initial project.
Mayor Carla Coley told the work session that a Congressional Directed Spending request submitted to Senator Jon Ossoff sought funding for municipal building renovations in three sections. She said the award, if approved, could arrive by the end of the year and that the city would provide a 45% match; the mayor cited $179,000 as an estimated portion of match funds with other entities potentially contributing.
Coley asked staff to assess and prioritize building improvements and emphasized that new bathroom flooring should be a priority. She noted that repairs to the municipal building steps were not included in the Senator Ossoff grant application and discussed downtown maintenance needs including sandblasting and repainting iron railings.
