Junction City Mainstreet wants to put in place a matching grant program to improve facades in the downtown area. According to information provided by city staff $10,000 will be donated by Gesary County, the Mainstreet group will budget $10,000 and there will be a request for $10,000 from the city. That request is on the city commission agenda when they meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 701 North Jefferson.
The staff recommendation for the commission to consider is to have the governing body make a commitment for up to $10,000 in funding for the project as it moves forward, and the funds will then be drawn upon when needed.
