Summary
The City applied for and was approved to receive grant funds from the US Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Association (EDA) to produce an economic development feasibility study focused on the former Mill Site.

Nine proposals were received from qualified firms interested in assisting the City with the project. The City selected Regional Government Services (RGS) as the most suitable firm through a competitive process. The attached Resolution and Contract are provided for Council review and approval.
