Funding Opportunities - Community Development

Most civic projects that benefit an entire community (water or sewer sytems, community buildings, etc.) are both complex and very expensive. As such, it is often necessary to secure funds from many different sources to accomplish a community improvement project. The primary sources of this type of funding are listed below. If your community is interested in any type of community development project, contact either Tom Bliss or Jackie Spainhower at Mo-Kan to discuss your available options.
