Richlands manager denies grant rumors over hospital demo
Richlands Town Manager Tim Taylor says the Mattie Williams Hospital demolition helped but did not cause the loss of a $25,000 planning grant for the downtown revitalization. Officials admit the grant application misfocused on a municipal building and lacked current economic blight evidence, marketing plans, and strong local business support. The town eyes a $700,000 block grant and may hire a private consultant to strengthen future applications.
