The City of Grant City voted to donate $5,000 for next year towards the Worth County Progress Organization home demolition project at their regular meeting Wednesday. The WCPO has already demolished one home, the former Cache Davis residence. Economic Developer Gene Auten said they plan to get started on two more after the first of the year.
The total cost of the project came to around $1,000. This includes taxes, insurance, and the dumpster. One person donated the money to get the recording paperwork done, which lowered the cost. The Progress Organization is accepting donations from anyone interested in getting abandoned homes removed from Grant City.
Great Northwest Days will be February 6th and 7th this year.
The council voted to set a special meeting for December 28th at 6 pm to amend the 2017 budget, discuss the Midwest Data service, and a few other issues. The council will do the 2018 budget at its regular meeting next month.
The Grant City Golf Course is seeking grant money to build a new clubhouse. Janice Borey is working on grant money to fund the project. The plan is to demolish the old clubhouse and build a bigger clubhouse that can handle class reunions and wedding receptions. This will allow the golf course to make money during the winter months, when the course is not active.
The council voted to donate $1,000 to Northwest Enterprise Facilitation, which helps businesses get started or expand free of charge. Among businesses that have started in the county over the past few months that were helped include Kort’s Cuts-N-Curls, Jenna Qualls’ new nail salon, and Kerwin’s shop just west of Grant City.
