Delray grant writer wants to pull down $5 million in federal stimulus money

Lisa King of Langton Associates, a Jacksonville-based management and consulting business, reported to Delray Beach Commissioners that they have obtained the green light on grant money for COPS programs and NOAA Dune Restoration totaling $2,067,571.
“We hope to pull down a total of $5 million in grants,” King said.
She spoke of possible money for a “Homeless Prevention Fund” and $3.6 million the firm is working on to better the city.
The money is available from a federal stimulus program passed by the U.S. Congress on Feb. 18. That federal stimulus money totals $787 billion allocated for cities across the nation.
