ST. JOSEPH,
November 2, 2007 – State Director Clyde Holloway presented $500,357
in USDA Rural Development loan and grant funds to the Town of St.
Joseph to construct a new city hall and convention center.
“Residents will
enjoy more convenient and efficient town services, as well as new
meeting space,” said Holloway. “This is an exciting time for St.
Joseph, and we are proud to be a part of this project.”
St. Joseph received
$200,000 in loan funds and $300,357 in grant funds from USDA Rural
Development to construct the new city hall.
The loan and grant
funds were awarded through USDA Rural Development’s Community

and grants to rural areas and towns up to 20,000 in population to
develop essential community facilities—such as the new city hall in

The new 6,000
