Fwd: OPR Federal Grants Update

Dear City Council,

I appreciated hearing the discussions pertaining to seeking more grants, and possibly adding a staff member focused on obtaining grants. Some require a county partnership with the grant seeker at the state level. For now, please see the below email with a summary of opportunities and various links. Some of you might want to directly subscribe to receive this information directly. It would be wonderful to have a grant person point-of-contact on staff. The email is long. Please click on the dots at the end to view the entire message.
