Wellston continues process to obtain grant, third meeting held – The Jackson County Times-Journal: News

WELLSTONa About 23 Wellston residents showed up for the third CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Grant meeting that was held on a cold and snowy evening in January.

Whitaker Wright, with Community Development Consultants (CDC) of Ohio, gave an overview of the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant Development process once again. If the grant is awarded, Wellston will have a two-year grant period, September 2016 to August 2018, to use the funds along with getting the volunteer projects done.

What they meant by that is, they would use volunteer projects as a measurement of how interested the community is in getting this grant.

If there are any organizations that are interested in volunteering to help the City of Wellston with the match on the grant, please contact Wellston Mayor Connie Pelletier at 740-384-2720 or Tami Phillips with aMaking Wellston Beautifula at 740-418-7830.
