Your votes from less than a week ago are already affecting area cities. In Grandview, councilors had a pleasant surprise looking at the budget: no cuts.
It took a trip to Congress, but Grandview will now get a make-over. City leaders decided to take millions in grant money to spruce up downtown.
It could lift this community out of near ruin.
The deadline is over, but they think they made it. The city of Grandview and the Y.V.C.C. Campus there had until the end of June to secure 2 million dollars for a new library. They say they did it.
The city of Grandview hopes a downtown revitalization project will bring more people into town. But businesses fear it will bring less people during construction.
And they say the timing is already bad because of the economy.
It's been nearly two weeks since the feds and other state agencies started investigating a possible illegal dump in Grandview. Samples of trash from the more than 100 drums of trash are now being tested, but some neighbors want answers now.
Every day, more toxic containers are uncovered at a Grandview illegal dump site. Investigators say it now seems more than one person was probably dumping there.
A huge fire left Grandview suddenly scrambling for a new future plan. But now, they have a new plan in place, to bring people back downtown, and back to work.
