Funds Available To Update Community Buildings

According to a communication sent to the Times, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development has awarded $2,900 to the Elba, Neb. Community Foundation. Leveraged with $5,437 from the Elba Foundation, the funds will purchase community center appliances and equipment to make the center more functional and operational for community functions. USDA funding for this project was provided through the Community Facility Grant program.

We urge Dorchester's leaders to look into this grant program to update our own community building. For more information contact USDA's Glen Gatz at (308) 237-3118 ext. 1121 or glen.gatz@ne.usda.gov.

  1. This community needs to forget about fixing up the community hall and building something better.

    We need a new city office, maintance building and library.

    We have the land, lets use it.

  2. Good luck building something new. I know that the fire department would love to add on or build a new station on that big lot next to the current fire station.
