State Accepting Community Block Grant Applications In Janurary

A reader has notified the Times that the Nebraska Department of Economic Development will award a third cycle of 2009 Community Development Block Grant planning grants soon. Dorchester leaders should note that applications will be accepted beginning Jan. 11.

The process will remain open until all funding is gone, according to the notice. For a copy of the application guidelines, click here. For more information, contact Kevin Andersen at 1-800-426-6505 or kevin.s.andersen@nebraska.gov.

  1. Are our leaders of Dorchester planning on taking advantage of this? It would be nice to know if they are, or are they just gonna sit around and do nothing?

  2. Most of these grants require matching funds.

    Suppose our community has millions sitting around to match some of this?

  3. Anonymous 12/12: Spoken like someone that prefers to pay more when something goes wrong, rather than spending a little trying to be proactive.

    FYI: Planning grant max is $30,000 with a minimum match of 25%. Do the math.
