4 months, 2 weeks ago by Bob Gough

Grants would be issued for infrastructure and other economic development needs

The Quincy City Council heard a first reading on a plan to change the City’s Revolving Loan fund to allow the city to fund grants for economic development projects.

Quincy Director of Planning Chuck Bevelheimer said the two funds each have more than $1 million. Bevelheimer said there would be a cap of $300,000 for the grants for infrastructure and other economic development needs.

The ordinance is scheduled for two more readings before aldermen vote.
