Winn Parish weighs $1 million LCDBG street-improvement application for Mimosa Drive area
Summary
County staff told the Police Jury the parish is eligible to apply for $1,000,000 in LCDBG funds for street improvements in the Mimosa Drive/Old Alexandria Road area with a $190,000 local match; an alternative clearance/demolition option would be eligible for $750,000 but requires an admin fee of $58,000.
Secretary/Treasurer Karen Tyler told the Jury that the parish qualifies for Community Development Block Grant (LCDBG) funding for either street improvements or clearance/demolition. She said a Public Facilities—street improvements application for Mimosa Drive/Old Alexandria Road would qualify for $1,000,000 in construction funds and would require $190,000 in local matching funds; that application would be due May 22.
Tyler said an alternative Clearance/Demolition application is also an option but has restrictions on eligible structures and would make the parish eligible for $750,000; that option carries an administrative fee of $58,000 and has a December 15 application deadline. President Frank McLaren asked Jurors to review the materials in their packets so the Jury can decide which application to pursue.
