Nebraska announces availability of demolition grant funding.

Applications for the Western Nebraska Housing Opportunities Demolition grant funds are now available at the offices of Twin Cities Development and the City of Scottsbluff Planning and Building offices.

According to Rawnda Pierce, director of TCD, the first round of applications will be accepted through Oct. 23. All applications will be ranked and scored to determine the applicant’s eligibility. If there are additional funds available following the first round, Pierce said, a second round of funding awards will run from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15.

Pierce said about $350,000 will be available and that a portion of the total grant will be used for the demolition of the Hergert Milling structure on Avenue B and the old City Limits Motel on East Overland.
