Signatures and Letters of Support Needed for Phase III Water Project!
5/3/2024
The Town of Richey is now in the process of applying for grant funding for Phase III of the water main replacement project. We need your help in signing petitions and in writing letters of support for the continuation of the project. The Community Development Block Grant program (which provides up to $750,000 in funding) is especially competitive, and one of the key factors in awarding these grants is documented public support for a project. In fact, a nearby town missed out on receiving this grant because it did not provide sufficient evidence of general public support. So every signature and letter counts and helps to strengthen the Town's application for these funds!
The document linked below contains some pointers for writing a support letter.
- The letter does not have to be very long, but it should be written on a separate piece of paper.
- Handwritten letters carry much more weight for awarding grants than typed-up form letters.
- Remember to sign your name/and or spouse’s or living partner’s as well.
- Include your physical address at the bottom of the letter.
- Letters can be dropped off at the Town Office or in the mail slot in the door. Letters can also be e-mailed to clerk@richeymt.org.
- We need the letters by Friday, May 10.
Please remember to sign, and encourage other people to sign, the petitions around Town at the Post Office, hardware, bank, Senior Center, and Cenex station. Thanks for your continued support, and please contact the Town Office if you have any questions!
