On Saturday, April 15 members of the Ada community participated in one of several meetings developing an application for $750,000 in Neighborhood Revitalization grant funds to advance the health, safety and general welfare of residents.

A public meeting was held at The Depot to discuss preliminary cost estimates for street, fire protection, sidewalk and drainage improvements. Fire hydrant conditions and sidewalk concerns dominated the discussion.

The meeting ended with “homework” for village residents, who can help develop the “why Ada?” portion of the application, submit community project commitment forms for the 2-year grant period of September 1, 2023-August 31, 2025, and provide locations of sidewalks needing repair.
