I see Apple Valley has it's own Dodd Frank regulations-- to curb risky loans! The idea of grants to stimulate resident-owned business sounds great. I hope that the rebuilding of lots and data goes smoothly from here.
ReplyDeleteHope the hood council manages to get those files in order!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I have to start collecting taxes again. I haven't done it since my rebuild, because it just wasn't a priority. But I want to start it up again and fund my projects properly.
Good luck with your rebuild! I always like seeing your hood council notes!
