The City of Vandalia will begin work on a comprehensive plan for the city with the help of a Smart Growth Grant received from the Greater Gateway Association of Realtors. Vandalia Mayor Rick Gottman explains that the plan is a sort of road map for the city to use to grow the city.
And, Mayor Gottman says it is going to take everywhere from government officials to business people in the city and more to complete the plan.
The plan is expected to cost anywhere from $30,000 to $45,000 with the grant received for $15,000 to be used to cover a portion of that cost.
