Summary
County staff told the committee that the History Center at Courthouse Square did not receive an America250MI grant; staff had applied for $50,000 with a $20,000 match from Parks Department funds for entrance infrastructure improvements and the DNR will not offer a third round of the grant program.
Jill Adams informed the committee that "The History Center at Courthouse Square did not receive the America250MI Grant." The minutes state staff had requested $50,000 with a $20,000 match from the Parks Department for infrastructure improvements at two entrances to the Sheriff’s Residence building. The record also notes that the DNR will not be offering a third round of the program.
The minutes do not indicate alternate funding sources or a revised plan for the entrances; the application outcome means the county will need to consider other funding or postpone the work unless an alternate source is identified.
