CLG Process Updates
The CLG Grant “City of Seward Signs,” applied for on January 22, was declined.
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) received a higher number of applications than
anticipated. The selection process for this grant round was quite competitive, given the available
funding resources. Opportunity to apply for another CLG Grant will be either Fall 2024 or
January 2025.
Grant Station Updates
The City of Seward is working with the IT Department and Library Staff to have the
GrantStation set up in the library by mid-April.
Use of the Grant Station for St. Peter's.
