The Granite Shoals 50th Year Bash and yet another prospective $500,000 grant were high on the meeting list of topics to discuss for the city council Tuesday, March 22.
“We are 31 days and counting toward the 50th Year Bash,” said City Manager Ken Nickel. “The committee already has 30 arts and crafts booths and eight food booths scheduled and they are looking at a crowd of up to 1,000 people.
“Banners are going up on (Ranch to Market Road) 1431 and we are asking the City of Marble Falls to display one,” Nickel said.
The small staff of the city has been operating in high gear all year preparing documentation for a grant that might offer more than half the cost of a multi-million dollar street restoration project and the proposal for another $500,000 grant for additional expansion to Quarry Park.
