APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE 1988 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM: The board was advised that there are grants available up to $5,000 for planning grants on use of CUBS funds. These funds can be used for water and sewer extensions, to create jobs, and for housing rehabilita- tion. A meeting is scheduled by the State to acquaint people with the grant program. It was suggested that since Centralina Council of Governments was the administrator for the grant fund in the past, that it might be well for someone from their staff to attend this meeting. It was suggested that Centralina Council of Governments be contacted in reference to the $5,000 planning grant. BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: The Iredell County Bicentennial plans were discussed. The Arts Council Committee is planning a garden around the Vietnam and Korean War Memorial located at the Hall of Justice in commemoration of this event. Since November 18 is the actual date of the Bicentennial and this is close to the time of the Statesville Christmas Parade, it was suggested that a Bicentennial float in this parade might be good. It was also suggested that the theme of the parade could be the Bicentennial, if a theme has not already been planned. Other ideas were to hold a mock "Commissioners Court," as the county governing board was originally called. Participants in the meeting could be dressed in period costumes. The renovation of the old. court house is selected as the Bicentennial Project, and some program around this was suggested. Chairman Hedrick appointed a committee from the County to work on this project, comprised of Commissioners Jessie Crosswhite and Frances Murdock, County Manager Joel Mashburn, and Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board.
