There will be a community meeting in Alger for residents to discuss how best to use a state grant of $500,000 for such things as:
• Parks and playground equipment
• Sidewalks
• Storm sewers
• Water hydrants
• Roads, curbs and gutters
• or other infrastructure projects.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 21, in the village hall, 207 Angle St. with Mark Doll, county regional planning director, and Whitaker Wright of Community Development Associates.
A survey was taken in Alger last fall which determined that Alger qualified for a grant up to $500,000 since most residents report low to moderate incomes.
