Alexsis Fleener is community development director with the Southwest Iowa Planning Council, which is assisting with the applications. She says the first grant is a Community Catalyst Building Remediation Grant for $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The grant application has to come from the city and the money has to flow through the city, but there is no match requirements on the city&#8217;s perspective,&#8221; said Fleener.\u00a0 &#8220;It&#8217;s $100,000 with the expectation that the grant gets matched by at least $100,000.\u00a0 That would be the Clarinda Chamber&#8217;s, it&#8217;s their project, so they would be responsible.\u00a0 They are working on solidifying the rest of the match for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fleener says the chamber is the planning stages to have a proposal ready as soon as grant funding is available.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The intent is that it be pretty shovel-ready,&#8221; said Fleener.\u00a0 &#8220;I&#8217;m working with (The Clarinda Chamber Executive Director) Elaine (Farwell) to get quotes from contractors now.\u00a0 She&#8217;s doing that so we have the budget numbers to work on.\u00a0 Without getting super specific, because no contractor has been awarded yet, so they are not awarding to a specific contractor yet, until the grant funds are secured.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The second grant application is a $20,000 Rural Innovation Grant from IEDA. Fleener says the competitive grant would help with matching the Community Catalyst grant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What makes this project a good fit for this grant is that we already have support from the school district that this work will be done by a contractor, but also will be done with the help of the high school students in the building trades program,&#8221; said Fleener.<\/p>\n<p>The grant applications are due by April 15th and the chamber is expected to hear after that date if they are awarded the funding. In other business, the council approved a pay requisition to Building Crafts, Inc. for just over $319,000 for work on the wastewater treatment plant project and approved a request from Southwest Iowa Families for use of a city park for a Family Fun Night on May 1st.<\/p>\n<div>Source: Google News<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>#chamber of commerce #chambers #chamber news #business #The Clarinda City Council<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>About <a href=\"www.skyhigh.vip\"> Skyhigh.Vip<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"www.skyhigh.vip\">Skyhigh.Vip<\/a> is a global institutional investor with vast interest in <a href=\"www.atelierauction\"> Arts <\/a> \/<a href=\"www.office-empire.com\"> Construction<\/a> \/ <a href=\"www.soholearninghub\"> Education<\/a> \/ <a href=\"www.gochambers\"> Business Services<\/a> \/ <a href=\"www.e-sportauthority\"> E-Sports <\/a>and various other growth industries.<\/p>\n<p>Several of its popular portfolio includes <a href=\"www.gochambers.com\"> GO Chambers<\/a> which is the world&#8217;s largest business chamber listing providers with over 30,000 active <a href=\"www.gochambers.com\"> chambers<\/a> as its members.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"www.flexgigzz.com\">Flexgigzz<\/a> is the Asia leading marketplace for freelancer service and together with <a href=\"www.soholearninghub.com\">SOHO Learning Hub<\/a> which is an online platform for short courses and both of them aims to be the number one provider in Asia.
