The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) announced $1 million of awards to 15 grant recipients under the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF). This amount represents the total aid available for award. Four communities are receiving grants for construction projects, and 11 are receiving funds for planning.
Among the recipients of the awards is the City of Wayne, which received $15,000.
CCCFF grants support the development of public spaces and civic, community, and recreation centers—including multipurpose facilities with childcare services or other complementary uses. Awarded projects may include the conversion, rehabilitation, or reuse of historic buildings. CCCFF grants can cover up to 50% of a project’s total costs. Recipients must match the grant funds at least equally from other sources (1:1 local cost-share).
