Councilmember Jesse Schmidt asked to reintroduce the Bennet Palmyra Childcare Foundation and will begin work on an application to Nebraska’s Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF) with assistance from partner organizations.

During the March 9 meeting Mayor Ryan Cheney introduced a review of the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF) administered by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. Councilmember Jesse Schmidt asked that the Bennet Palmyra Childcare Foundation be reintroduced and said he would begin the grant process with assistance from other organizations.
