The City of Graceville Applies for Small Community Planning Grants for Stormwater, Wastewater, and Community Resilience. The UMVRDC recently submitted a grant on behalf of the City of Graceville for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Small Community Planning Grants for Stormwater, Wastewater, and Community Resilience. The amount applied for, $63,901.80, would go toward studying and identifying an improved stormwater management system with sensitivity calculations of climate change related to stormwater runoff impacts. Rain events with as little as 1.5 inches within a short period of time causes water to rise over roads, sidewalks, and even against homes and businesses. In rain events of three to four inches, flooding becomes a significant detriment to the community.
We’ve also created a new Housing Resource page on our website as a resource, which includes the promotional document and a listing of available lots in the region. We hope to add more resources to this page in the future, so check back often!
