City Clerk Gardener said yes and explained the application was due Dec 26th and that we would find out if we were awarded in March of 2026 but the funds wouldn’t come until October 2026. Foster asked if we have the opportunity to find the funds sooner than we would use that. Mayor Good agreed funds would be sought and we already have the sign inventory from the grant that was written last year. Some of the signs haven’t been replaced since 2013.
