La Cygne applies for CDBG special‑round to fund sidewalks, storm shelter, park work
Summary
Under a short application window the council prioritized Market Street sidewalks, a potential storm shelter, and South Park court/parking repairs, and hired BG Consultants to prepare a preliminary CDBG report for up to $2,500.
The La Cygne City Council reviewed a newly announced CDBG special round with a $350,000 maximum award and a required minimum 10% local match. Council members discussed options that could be packaged under one application — sidewalk construction along the north side of Market Street, an above‑ground storm shelter (examples given included a 10×50 metal building sited in South Park), resurfacing the South Park tennis/basketball court and associated parking, and park pavilion improvements.
Council hired BG Consultants to prepare a preliminary engineering and cost report for the grant application (fee not to exceed $2,500) and ranked priorities for the application: (1) Market Street sidewalk, (2) a storm shelter, and (3) South Park courts/parking. The city clerk noted the city already qualifies as low‑to‑moderate income (LMI) for CDBG eligibility and BG Consultants will assemble the materials needed for the short application window.
