(KNSI) – Two small towns in central Minnesota are getting some financial help to give buildings a facelift.
Brooten will get $600,000 from the Small Cities Development Program grants to improve its public safety facility, and Watkins will get $943,000 to rehab housing and commercial property.
On Monday, Governor Tim Walz named 36 cities, townships, and counties across rural Minnesota that will receive a cut of nearly $24 million from the grant program. Cities can apply for help upgrading residential and commercial property rehabilitation, improving public facilities, and other economic development.
All projects must meet at least one of three federal objectives. Benefit people of low and moderate incomes, eliminate slum and blight conditions, or address an urgent community need affecting public health or safety.
SCDP grants are awarded to Minnesota cities with fewer than 50,000 residents and townships and counties with populations under 200,000.
