City Council Debates Sterling Mormon House Grant Application Amidst Funding Concerns

The City Council considered a resolution to apply for a grant from the Washington State Historical Society for the Sterling Mormon House. The grant, part of the Heritage Capital Projects program, aims to fund significant improvements and rehabilitation of the historic property. The initial funding plan relied on the REIT fund for the cash match, but due to concerns about depleting those funds, an alternative approach was proposed, focusing on private donations and external grants. The current resolution is solely to approve the grant application, with decisions on funding sources and project details to be made if the grant is awarded. The application deadline is June 5th, with an expected award notification in late September.
