Public hearing for downtown grant

Scott St.John and Jeff Burnett of the city of Manchester explain a blue print plan to spend a $588,000 State of Tennessee grant on the downtown square in Manchester.

The plan will not complete the project but will instead complete two sides of the square, at which what point the city will apply for a second grant to complete the project.

The grant is a 80/20 match in funds. The city will pay for it's portion of the grant with funding from the city tourism committee according to Jeff Burnett.
