An important survey will be conducted in the coming weeks by Donley County, the City of Clarendon, and the City of Hedley, which should help local communities become eligible for more grant funds.
Donley County Judge John Howard says the survey will determine whether our communities can apply for grants to purchase new ambulances when needed and conduct street repairs in our cities as well as other municipal projects.
“Based on current census data we are not eligible to apply for these important CDBG funds,” Howard said. “We must correct the wrong information in the census by conducting our own survey.”
The surveyors will be local citizens, who most people should be familiar with as having grown up here in Donley County.
Participation is voluntary, but it is vital that local officials collect enough responses to correct the census information and ensure county and city eligibility to apply for these grants to help the community.
County and city officials ask that when you see the surveyors, thank them for their community service, and they thank you for your assistance in this vital project.
“Spread the word and let’s bring some of our federal tax dollars home to help our communities,” Howard said.
