n2xjk wrote:Yes. Part of the reason things are happening in the sequence they are happening is due to what the grant programs dictate. It so happens the grants we've been awarded only go to fixing or improving existing structures (building, causeway, track, etc). Since Kingston tore down its overhead in 1928, there's no existing overhead structure to fix or improve. Believe me, we're looking for ways to fund getting some wire up. Grant applications what would have helped in that area have been submitted in the past (i.e., SAFETEA-LU Transportation Enhancements under category 12) but none awarded. If the monies that've come our way so far had fewer restrictions, it's pretty safe to say it would have been used somewhat differently.What's wrong with getting some money and support from your own members? How many members do you actually have?
