INDIANAPOLIS - The Office of Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced eight Indiana communities will receive nearly $1 million in Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Grants and Planning Grants through the Community Development Block Grant program.

Locally, the Town of Versailles received a comprehensive Planning Grant of $50,000.

Comprehensive Planning Grants are designed to aid communities in evaluating assets and identifying opportunities to address current needs in the following areas: land use, government capacity, public services, placemaking, economic development, housing, transportation, agriculture, natural resources and historic resources.

The Planning Grant program encourages communities to plan for sustainable community development with the aid of subject matter experts and community input.
