The Chipley Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approved two grants at their July 11th Board meeting. Both grants were awarded to Cynthia Brown for property at 689 ‘ 3rd Street in Chipley.
The first grant for the building interior is in the amount of $12,000 and the second, in the amount of $40,000, is for work on the exterior of the building.
The Thursday afternoon meeting centered around the wording of the various grants being offered by the CRA.
CRA Board members met with Chipley attorney Michelle Jordan to discuss possible ways to clarify the verbage in the grants.
After a lengthy discussion, the decision was made to have Jordan review the existing grant appllications, which were written a number of years ago, and update the wording in the applications as necessary.
