To the editor: City grants received since Jan. 1, 2006


I would like to publish the following information on Home in Henderson to inform your readers of the grants received and applied for since January 1, 2006 by the Henderson City Staff.

The staff is now using the ECivis software as recommended by the Mayor and the number of applied and received grants should increase.
