[SOURCE]: In recent meetings of the City Planning Commission, the Community Development Corporation, and the Redevelopment Authority, Greg Clark of Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission has described grants that his agency has obtained for the City. Other grant applications are in progress. The approved grants address significant needs. A Brownfields Grant application for $292,300 that has already been filed deals with cleanup of hazardous materials and petroleum-based products but is very beneficial for redevelopment planning. One significant final grant especially for the Community Development Corporation and the Redevelopment Authority is a $50,000 planning grant. It will be of assistance in developing action plans, including town center redevelopment concepts, streetscape improvement, alternative transportation, and capital improvements. Other grant applications are being considered and developed.
