Century Applying For Grants To Help Homeowners, Business Planning
July 21, 2011
Century is applying for two grants — one to improve housing for low income residents and the other to develop an economic plan for the town.
In Century, about 24 percent of all residents are below the poverty level with a per capita income of $14,629, according to the town, and almost half of all homes are classified as substandard. The town is applying for a USDA Rural Development housing preservation grant to assist some of those very-low and low-income homeowners in repairing or rehabilitating their homes. The funds, if approved, will be in addition to a current Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program.
The town also plans to create an economic development strategy plan if awarded a USDA Rural Business Opportunity Grant. The grant would be used to train and provide technical assistance for business development.
