Earlier today, Gossips reported the good news that Friends of the Public Square (FOPS) had been awarded a $500,000 grant to finance Phase I of the rejuvenation of Seventh Street Park--new paving, new seating, new signage, new lighting, new landscaping. That was just one of the projects in Columbia that was funded in Round 13 of the state's Regional Economic Development Council CFA (Consolidated Funding Application) process. The total of $5.6 million went to projects in Columbia County. Here are the projects of greatest to Gossips readers.
