Jim Brannon, President of the Kokomo Howard County Development Corporation, and Tennis Guyer, Vice- president of same, were present to provide information and answer questions. The grants, which are administered by the Indiana Department of Commerce, Community Development Division, provide funds in a 90/ 10% ratio to communities under 50,000 population for projects " which improve the quality of life and increase the local economic capacity" of the community. Brannon suggested Greentown might consider two blocks east and west of the stoplight and one block north and south. Such projects usually emphasize nostalgia and the character and heritage of a town. As to the details of a project, public participation is sought from the beginning. The Grapevine will announce the next meeting as soon as it is set. The Town Council voted to proceed with the process. President Bob Armstrong appointed Don DeShaney as Co- ordinator. At its meeting of March 1,1995, the Eastern Howard School Board heard a presentation of recommendations by Dr. Lindan Hill and Technology Director, Dennis Bagley. Due to the comprehensive nature of the p r o j e c t t h e Board also considered the project at their meeting March 14. The Technology Committee identified several goals during the development of a five year technology plan which include the following: Cabling and network hardware & software to accomplish a school wide n e t w o r k , teacher a n d administrator workstations, additional class room computers , a new typing lab and upgrades to existing labs, projection systems for presentations, and laptops for staff checkout. The total cost to accomplish all of these goals was estimated at $ 655,000 plus cost of wiring infrastructure at $ 160,000.
