(Estherville)– The Estherville City Council Monday approved 12 applications for the latest round of funding through the city’s Neighborhood Facade Grant program. City Administrator Penny Clayton says a total of 20 applications were received by Excel Estherville, which oversees the program…
While 12 applications were approved, Clayton says they had budgeted for 10. She says they’ll be able to make up the $6,000 overage by using Hotel/Motel tax revenue. It was also pointed out that some projects approved in a previous funding cycle likely won’t get completed and that some of the funds from those could also offset the overage.
The program is intended as an incentive for Estherville residents looking to spruce up the exterior of their home.
