HRA/EDA lauded for new programs
Community Development Director, Chris Heineman and Coordinator, Michele Merxbauer, tag teamed presenting budgets for the EDA and HRA to council this week. Mayor Graham commended the HRA for all the work they do and the EDA for stepping up and coming up with other development ideas. He cited the road expansions for Enterprise Park that they brought to council earlier this month. The EDA has offered a micro grant program for some time. It has not always been utilized so the unused dollars have gone into the Reserve fund. Heineman said that rather than scrap the program, they’ll continue to use funds from the Reserve. Merxbauer and Heineman also talked about the Boards initiatives and accomplishments including the implementation of a city-wide revolving loan program through the EDA, the HRA’s “Home Matters 2.0” program for the revitalization of the Veterans Park neighborhood and the Spring Creek Townhome project which has been a huge success, according to Merxbauer.
