Clarksville City Council agreed to mix and match on roads chosen for a Community Development Block Grant application.
âWeâve got a lot of linear feet that need to be replaced,â City Councilman Gary Gray said in the meeting last week. âA lot of people Iâve talked to want something right here, right now.â
The grant, funded by the Texas Department of Agriculture, is potentially worth over $300,000, said Kathy Boyles, who the city hired to manage the application process. The grants cover only low-income areas.
In last weekâs meeting, Boyles took three options to the city for it to decide on the final one, however, Gray noted, the ones with curbs and gutters cost more per yard, with plain streets at $65 per square yard and curb and gutter streets cost $87 per square yard.
