Gallatin gets $300k streetscape grant

The Tennessean, January 31, 2012

Three Sumner County projects, including phase three of the Gallatin downtown streetscape, were awarded $1.2 million in funding through the Nashville Metropolitan Planning Organization. The funds are part of MPO’s region-wide effort to support multiple forms of transportation. Overall eight projects were selected through-out the region. The Sumner County grants will help to fund completion of the Gallatin downtown streetscape master plan as well as the implementation of two greenway project phases.

Sumner County and the City of Gallatin have won millions in grants over the last few years following the completion of their comprehensive plans in 2004 and 2010. “Is it unusual to get as much as we have; I think we’ve been extremely successful,” said Gallatin Community Development Coordinator Jim Svoboda. “I think absolutely we seized on the opportunities that were available and came up at the time.”
