CHIPLEY – A popular grant program is once again accepting applications after being on hold since January.
Chipley City Council temporarily suspended applications in January for residential and business improvement grants through the Chipley Redevelopment Agency. The suspension was to give CRA board members and City Attorney Michelle Jordan time to make a change in the application agreement language that would help recapture funds should grantees sell or “flip” the property.
Council members voted in regular session Tuesday, March 9, to accept the new guidelines, allow the CRA to once again accept applications, and allow applicants to submit work performed between January 12 and March 9 to help fulfill the grant’s in-kind work requirement. CRA Executive Director Ted Everett states approximately ten applicants have been awaiting the program to restart the application process.

Her appointment comes after the firm’s chief financial officer for the UK and Ireland Cheryl McCall left last November after 18 years at the business.
At the time, an Aecom spokesperson said McCall was leaving for personal reasons.
