WALLACE –– A community forum was held on Wednesday night for residents of Wallace to discuss the city’s intent to pursue a $225,000 community block grant through the Panhandle Area Council to repair the Wallace City Pool.
According to the Panhandle Area Council (PAC), in order to be eligible Wallace needed to complete an income survey that showed that the city’s households are at least 51% low-to-moderate income (LMI).
Although the public interest at the forum was minimal, it did give the City Council the ability to review the grant application, as well as get any clarification that they were missing from PAC.
The Wallace City Council voted in favor of pursuing the grant during a special session in early July, with a deadline of September 21 to apply for the grant.
