Council votes to resubmit downtown Texas CDBG application

Rotan Town Council · March 12, 2026

Summary

The council approved a motion to resubmit the downtown application for the Texas Community Development Block Grant program despite a prior archaeological study on file that the speaker said lowered their scoring on earlier applications.

Council voted to resubmit the town's downtown Texas Community Development Block Grant application — the same application the town has submitted in prior cycles. Staff told the council a prior archaeological study on the site remains on record and reduces points on future applications; despite that, the town proceeded to resubmit. "It's the same one we've been applying for the last four years... we had to have that archaeological study done on that the last CDBG grant and it stays on your record for four years," a staff speaker said.

A motion to resubmit was made, seconded and approved with no recorded opposition. Staff said they would proceed to file the application again for the downtown project and continue to pursue funding despite the prior study's effect on scoring.
