We have signed the Memorandum Agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on the Land and Water Conservation grant. This grant is for a splash pad at the city park on Fairgrounds Street. The grant is for $113,900.00. It is matching at 50%, which does include some in-kind in that amount. Plans are being finalized for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of $1,000,000. It will be used for procurement of the Majestic Yachts building. We are also incurring a loan of $525,000. For the same property. This $1,500,000 will be paid to the city in a lease agreement from the manufacturing company. The $1,000,000 is required to go into an account to be utilized for economic development in the city. The USDA grant for the Columbia Maintenance Building purchase project is in final stages. We will have a closing on that property. The grant is for $125,000 and is a 50% matching. The sanitation, public works, and parks and recreation will be using that facility. Closing: October 27, 2021.
