Stimulus Funds

The City of Sterling should be eligible for approximately $475,000 in road funds. However, there are a number of restrictions on those funds, and believe it or not, we may not receive them in time to use this summer. As with most things government related, strings are attached. We've had conflicting information about what roads are eligible, but we do know that not all roads will be eligible for the funds.

But road projects are just one piece of the pie. We're still hoping for other projects to be funded.

Certainly the stimulus funds weren't supported by everyone, but now that they're out there, we're working to get what we can for Sterling.
