(KLZA)-- Following a public hearing last Wednesday evening, drawing no public comment, the Falls City Council approved moving forward with an application for Community Development Block Grant funds for a downtown revitalization project.

If received the grant would be for $435 thousand with $400 thousand for the project, $25 thousand for General Administration and $10 thousand for construction management. The city will guarantee the contribution of matching funds estimated at $100 thousand to complete the project.

While the block for the project has not been officially selected, it is likely the work will be one on Stone Street from 15th north to 16th Street.
