Council Tables Action on Grant Application

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Homeless Board was going to work with the City to apply for a Neighborhood Stabilization Grant that would help fund additional transitional housing at Crawford Hall. However, the Council had several questions about the proposed project including estimates for the work. Instead of approving moving ahead with the application, the Council tabled action until their next meeting so they get their questions answered. Boone Mayor John Slight says he supports the Council's decision to delay action even though the City isn't putting any funding into the project. The deadline to apply is the day after the next Council meeting.
