Broken Bow council OKs CDBG planning grant application to update comprehensive plan

Broken Bow City Council · August 25, 2026

Summary

The council unanimously authorized a $63,000 CDBG planning grant application — $50,000 federal, $10,000 city match and $3,000 for CNEDD administration — to update Broken Bow's comprehensive plan; the application is due Sept. 16, 2026.

The Broken Bow City Council on Aug. 25 authorized the city's chief elected official to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) planning grant application to update the city’s comprehensive plan. Deputy Clerk Jacob Holcomb said the $63,000 project consists of $50,000 in CDBG funds, a $10,000 city match (20 percent) and $3,000 to the Central Nebraska Economic Development District (CNEDD) for grant administration.

CNEDD Executive Director Carla Kimball told the council that CDBG planning grants require a certified administrator and that CNEDD would manage federal compliance and paperwork for the project. Holcomb said the current comprehensive plan was completed in 2018 and is overdue for the standard four-to-six-year update. There were no public comments during the hearing, and the council approved Resolution 2026-19 by unanimous roll-call vote (Smith, Kleeb, Wamsley, Holland).
