Office Of Community And Rural Affairs Awards Planning Grants

0

The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs is awarding nine planning grants to communities to develop a variety of plans that will help improve the quality of life for their residents.

“Planning grants are invaluable tools that can help rural communities shape their vision for community and economic development,” said Matt Crouch, Interim Executive Director of OCRA. “I applaud the foresight by the community’s leaders and residents taking the time to plan for these significant investments within their communities.”

The State of Indiana distributes the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to rural communities to assist units of local government with various community projects. Planning grants are one type of grants offered through OCRA’s CDBG Program.

The Planning Grant Program strives to encourage communities to plan for long-term community development with the aid of subject matter experts and community input. The applications being funded this quarter are aiming to address water infrastructure and comprehensive community planning.

Water Infrastructure grants allow communities to take a holistic view of potential issues and opportunities across the drinking, waste and stormwater infrastructure. By completing water infrastructure planning, communities will be able to make decisions regarding the most urgent water needs while understanding how each system works in context with other utility systems. The following seven communities are awarded the following grants:

  • The Town of Brookston is awarded $58,500;
  • The Town of Brownstown is awarded $50,000;
  • The Town of Center Point is awarded $35,000;
  • The Town of Chalmers is awarded $60,000;
  • The Town of Earl Park is awarded $69,300;
  • The City of Hartford City is awarded $90,000; and
  • The Town of Hebron is awarded $35,000.

Comprehensive Planning grants are designed to aid communities in assessing assets and identify opportunities to address current needs. Each comprehensive plan includes a holistic view and potential opportunities to improve in the following areas: land use, government capacity, public services, placemaking, economic development, housing, transportation, agriculture, natural resources, broadband access and historic resources. The Town of Hudson and the Town of Otterbein are each awarded $40,000 grants.

Applications are accepted on a quarterly basis. The next quarter opens Monday, Nov. 9, 2020 with applications due Friday, Jan. 15, 2021. For more information, visit in.gov/ocra/2371.htm.

YESTERYEAR: During Prohibition Congress Had A Private Country Club Where They Drank Liquor Openly.

0
SUBMITTED BY GAIL RIECKEN 
EVANSVILLE
It was on this day in 1919 that Congress overrode President Woodrow Wilson’s veto and passed the Volstead Act, which provided for enforcement of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting the sale of alcohol.
The prohibition movement had been led largely by women, who still had a hard time making a living on their own, and many had seen their lives ruined when their husbands squandered the family income on alcohol.
It’s commonly believed that prohibition didn’t really stop anyone from drinking and merely gave a boost to organized crime. That was true in big cities because they refused to enforce the law, but in rural America, prohibition was extremely effective.
Both cirrhosis death rates and admissions to state mental hospitals for alcoholism fell by more than fifty percent, and arrests for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct went way down. But city newspapers focused on how easy it was to find alcohol. Even members of the United States Congress had a private country club where they drank liquor openly.

“Left Jab” And “Middle Jab” And “Right Jab” November 2, 2020

0

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.
