Storm Drainage Grant Award

The City of Kirksville has been approved for a $300,000 CDBG. The grant will be utilized for a drainage system improvement project. We received official notification this week that the application submitted by the City was approved.

This area was not one of the top priorities identified with our plan, but will receive grant money, along with local resources to make drainage improvements in the project includes the area between Hildreth, Boundary, and Dodson and First Street. The City will be asked to provide $170,000 in in-kind support and $50,000 in cash contribution. This grant award is good news to the City, and shows the efforts that are being made to maximum are available resources available for stormwater improvements.
