Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved hiring the Glen Price Group to help Richmond pursue grants from state and federal agencies. Currently, the city applies for grants sporadically without dedicated staff to identify opportunities or write professional applications. The consultant will systematically search for grant opportunities and prepare applications, with a goal of securing at least $110,000 annually in new funding. This represents a shift from Richmond's current ad-hoc approach to a more strategic pursuit of outside funding sources.
