Sperry sets special meeting to pursue roughly $120,000 REAP grant for drainage, water-line or retention-pond projects
Summary
Grants coordinator Debra Burch said Sperry plans to apply for an INCOG REAP grant of approximately $120,000 (application due April 10). Potential projects include building a retention pond on South Osage Drive, diverting stormwater to Cherokee Street, or replacing steel water lines on Elgin Street; a special public meeting on March 26 will consider the application.
Grants coordinator Debra Burch told trustees the town plans to seek an INCOG Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) grant estimated at about $120,000 and set a special, open meeting for March 26 to discuss the application. The application deadline was recorded as April 10, 2026.
The minutes list three candidate projects for the grant: purchasing land and building a retention pond on South Osage Drive (to be completed in about four phases), diverting stormwater down 4th Street to Cherokee Street, or replacing steel water lines on Elgin Street. "THE GRANT IS APPROXIMATELY $120,000.00 AND THE APPLICATION WILL HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED BY APRIL 10, 2026," the minutes state.
The board did not record a selection among the candidates; the special meeting on March 26 is intended for public involvement and further direction. The minutes do not contain engineer estimates, match amounts, or a recommended single project; those details may be developed at the March 26 meeting.
