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!
