Matt Blunt Quotes
As a state, we were put in the unfortunate position of having to make up for lost time because of earlier failures to address these important issues.

[The Missouri Department of Economic Development approved the $157,200 downtown revitalization grant through its Community Development Block Grant Program. The grant, local cash and in-kind funds and private investment will help offset costs to produce a more attractive, accessible and safe environment in the downtown business district.] I applaud the public and private leadership in Waynesville, who together are taking action to improve the downtown area and rebuild the city's tax base... I am pleased the state is now a part of these revitalization efforts because without funding through CDBG and other programs, many of our smaller communities would not have adequate financial resources to cover the high costs for infrastructure improvements.
