COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The Town’s last comprehensive plan was done in 2009, and let’s face it, A LOT has changed since then. We are currently working on updating it, and we need YOUR help. Please attend the public engagement meetings over the next three months, follow the Lapel comprehensive plan Facebook page, and share your thoughts/opinions on how you would like to see the Town develop, or what you would like to see stay away from the Town. Please go to the following link to fill out a quick survey regarding the Comprehensive Plan: www.surveymonkey.com/r/lapel

2021 - THE YEAR OF GRANTS

In December the Town found out we were awarded a $700,000 grant from OCRA to help with our $4 million water project this year. This project will replace some existing water lines, and make updates to the water plant, water tower, and water wells around town. The Town also received the Community Crossings Match Grant for $699,438.97 to help pave just under 3 miles worth of road. The roads include: CR 200 S, Vine Street, 10^th Street, Ash Way, Beechwood Drive, Briar Drive, Oakmont Drive, CR 950 W, CR 500 S.
