Grant article helpful in understanding street funding

Letter to the Editor

I greatly appreciated the article on the front page of the Sept. 21 Cheney Free Press (“Moving on Up”) in which (Medical Lake City Administrator) Doug Ross explains how the process of obtaining grants for street repair works with respect to population. Since Medical Lake will be going over the 5,000 population mark next year this will put us in a larger pool of cities seeking grants. How this will play out in our future applications for grants remains to be seen. Only time will tell.

I would like to see a follow up article in which it is explained how the process of adding subdivisions by developers works.

The public needs to be provided with accurate information. I have observed that frequently rumors and inaccurate information are circulated by people who mean well but don’t have the facts of the topic.
