Norwalk loses $1 million HUD grant bid for development
Norwalk's application for a $1 million community development grant was rejected by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. City Finance Director Vernis George says the city will continue seeking federal funds despite no HUD grant since 1975, citing stiff competition and a 60 percent benefit rating from the North Star Council of Governments. Willard, by contrast, won tentative approval for a $1 million grant to renovate the Keefer Street area, including streets and sewers and housing upgrades.
