The 209 page application includes detailed information on the projects from the communities in the county and some projects that are countywide.

While the Town of Culver is already Stellar they would like to continue with the third phase of the Lake Maxinkuckee Trail with an estimated cost of $1 million.
While Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter initially said the city had so many projects underway he didn’t think they would submit, there were two projects that made the list. Continued renovation work at the Rees Theatre and restoration of the Old Firehouse for an entrepreneurial hub for $1.5 million.
County initiatives include workforce development, marketing and branding and an owner occupied housing rehab program $850,000. Health projects on the application include school crosswalk safety measures, planning and signage for bike routes and the addition of bike racks, all with an estimated cost of $37,500.
While the application has been submitted the committee is still hard at work preparing for their presentation in Indianapolis on November 15th.
