The City of Dadeville received $500,000 for the demolition of 18 derelict buildings, part of an $18.2 million Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) round awarded by Gov. Kay Ivey Thursday.
Dadeville applied for the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development funding in August, part of an ongoing effort to go out with the old and in with the new. It was the town's third shot at the federal grant, disbursed to competing municipalities across the state by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA).
