Melinda Green set out on a mission…and she completed that mission! Melinda has been and is concerned about the residents of our city. For almost a year, Melinda has worked diligently to secure a CDBG grant for the city of Magee. The grant deals with sewage…something we all don’t like to think about…but something that greatly affects our lives! The City of Magee has faced an almost crisis in the cleaning of the existing lagoons and preparing another. Melinda took on the project of seeking a grant to assist with this problem in our city. She and her daughter went door to door in Magee completing surveys required for the awarding of the grant. Everything required by the grant, Melinda met the challenge.
Joe Barton (Bart) Ballard, City engineer, commented at the Tuesday, December 21, 2021, meeting “many of the cities I work with applied for the CDBG grant…but didn’t receive the grant. Melinda did an excellent job in completing the forms for the grant and it paid off.”
