to be changed to reflect the correct amounts.

which should have read $252,780.00; while the local match showed $73,710.65,
should have read $63,195.00. The total amount of the grant has not changed,
which is $315,975.00.
Financial Considerations
The local match for this grant is the responsibility of the Greater Columbus
Chamber of Commerce The match will be required to be expended on renovation
services, prior to the use of the grant amount.
