Edison working towards new community building

Wednesday, 03 February 2010 19:20
For the past two years, Edison residents have been gathering information and working towards the possibility of a new community building for their town. The effort to raise funds and apply for a community block grant came stems from a survey taken in which the top priority was to have a new community building. Since that time, committee members Lee Carskadon, Darrell Paulsen, Tom Tejcka and Rodney Best have been working with West Central Development to coordinate and apply for a community block grant. The grant in which they are applying for is a 25% community-matching grant in the amount of $250,000. Carskadon commented that to receive that amount, they would have to have $62,500 in pledges. But, the group is well on their way as they have raised $25,000 at this time, which includes the Edison American Legion pledging $10,000 to the project. Carskadon said, “we have this one generous pledge, but it will take lots of small pledges.”
