After returning a similar grant several
years ago, the Crossville city council is considering applying for a
grant from TDOT to help pay for downtown sidewalks and possibly other
improvements at the Crossville depot.
City Council members L-R: J.H. Graham, Danny Wyatt,
Mayor James Mayberry, Pamala Harris and Scot Shanks
While no action was taken during the
July, the topic is expected to come up at the August work session and
regular meeting to consider applying for 80/20 grants that could fund
sidewalk improvements and other pedestrian/bicycle improvements for
non-drivers as well as possible work on the Crossville Tennessee
Central Railroad depot.

A public hearing is planned for the
August 8th city council meeting date and the matter on the agenda for
council's consideration of the city applying for the grants that are
due October 3 this year. The total estimated cost of the project
would be $3.2 million dollars with the city's match portion at
$640,000.

After some issues with fine print on
some of the city's previous grants, the council said they want to see
the completed grant before it is submitted.
