APC Asking Citizens’ Help in Acquiring Elevator Grant

Clinton County has applied for a grant to remove the collapsing Manson Elevator and grade the site. As the grant process is statewide and very competitive, we need some help from interested citizens! It is important to show local support for this project and that getting rid of this building would be beneficial to the community.

The County is asking interested citizens to submit letters of complaint about the elevator to the Clinton County Area Plan Commission (301 E Clinton St, Suite 107, Frankfort, IN, 46041), Attn: Liz. They can be mailed or just dropped off in person.

These letters will be included with the grant application to help show the impact the structure has and why it serves the community to remove it. We need to have all letters in hand by February 2, 2018.
