Pottawatamie Downtown Revitalization
The neighboring rural communities of Carson and Macedonia shared a need for the revitalization of some blighted commerical facades on key buildings in their downtown areas. With neither community having enough structures to meet program requirements individually, they combined their projects through the sponsorship of Pottawatamie County who served as the CDBG grant applicant. In this way, both communities shared in the maximum amount of grant dollars available to an individual applicant and will be able to repair, rehabilitate and preserve four buildings in Carson and five buildings in Macedonia. Though small in number, the impact of these nine rehanbilitated commercial structures will be significant in these very small communiites.
