The county plans to reapply on behalf of the DeKalb Utility District for a Community Development Block Grant for water line extension to a certain area of the county in need.
A public hearing is set for Tuesday, December 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the downstairs courtroom of the courthouse. The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the possibility of applying for a CDBG grant through the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. The hearing is open to the public and active participation is highly encouraged.
If approved by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, the grant would fund the extension of water lines to Tramel Branch, Oakley Road, Carter Lane, Old Givens Hollow, and Dismal to Alexandria Road.
