Grant Application Submitted

Big sigh of relief- with the help of the City of Spokane, the Spokane Regional Health District, Spokane County, and multiple other jurisdictional and community partners, we have just got our application for the HUD Sustainable Communities Planning Grant submitted!

The application was enormous and took much time on our part, plus a lot of time was donated to preparation by the Health District and the City. If you think that was the hard part though, you're wrong. Now we have to wait until January to see if we get the $2 million in grant money we asked for to develop a Spokane Regional Plan for Sustainable Development.

We'll be posting some of the materials required for our application on our website probably next week or whenever I can get organized enough to do so. I'll post a link here then.
