City Again Denied EDA Funds For Water Line Project
A 3,500 population city reported at the recent council meeting that its request for $300,000 in Economic Development Administration funds to finance a new water line was turned down despite repeated applications and encouragement from federal offices. Senator Frank Church and Congressman George Hansen sent regrets, urging reapplication via HUD. The council criticized changing qualifying criteria and the recurring wait for promised help, noting four Northern Idaho cities received state shares.
