(KLZA)-- Following a public hearing Monday night the Pawnee City Council approved a request to loan $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant – Economic Development Program Income Reuse Loan funds for a new Pawnee City business.
Valerie Lefler, a native of Lewiston is the President of Transportation Tech, Incorporated, planning to open their new business in the former Pawnee Playcare Building in the 500 block of “G” Street.
The company will be in the business of writing manuals for equipment such as street lights and those futuristic cars that do not require a driver.
While such vehicles are being built now, there are no manuals that tell technicians how to fix them when they break.
The company plans to open with five employees. Stephens says they have already contacted the Pawnee City School in an attempt to prepare future employees.
The CDBG money will help the company secure funding to create their business and must be paid back.
