With the assistance of the Kaysinger Basin Regional Planning Commission, the city of Appleton City was presented a grant award from the Community Development Block Grant program through the State of Missouri, Department of Economic Development, in the amount of $230,500 to demolish over 20 dilapidated residential and commercial structures city-wide. "This project will give the city a breath of fresh air." stated Mayor Stephanie Donnahue. "With this demolition grant and the sidewalk grant, the town of Appleton City will have a new light, a new sense of community and a new outlook into the future for generations to come." Earlier this year Appleton City was awarded a $300,000 grant through MoDOT to complete a downtown revitalization project that will replace the sidewalks and lighting in the downtown district next summer. The Kaysinger Basin RPC prepared both the demolition and the sidewalk grant applications.
