LANDIS ó The town board received a brief presentation Monday from Shelley Williamson, a planner with Centralina Council of Governments, regarding state Community Development Block Grants.
Williamson told the board about eligibility requirements. Funds are available to local municipal or county governments for projects to enhance the vitality of communities.
The grants primarily serve people of low-and moderate-incomes.
Grants can be used to correct environmental problems with water/sewer systems. It can also be used to address critical housing needs of very low-income families.
The board also approved new lots within Phase I of the Oaks of Landis.
The contractors/developers receive approval from the town board prior to going ahead with new lots in the subdivision. There has been no changes made to the original plans for the subdivision.
The board approved an agreement between the state DOT and the town for bridge inspections.
The Department of Transportation inspects two bridges, one in the Oaks of Landis and the other at the Irish Creek subdivision.
