From the meeting
At the October 6, 2026 meeting, staff reported that the city was exploring Creative District designation. Annette Brower said approval would bring a $10,000 grant and could unlock additional Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and CCF funding for murals, downtown revitalization, sidewalks, façade work, and possibly a recreation center or swimming pool. The city still has to meet participation criteria and complete the application, so this is a live funding strategy rather than a closed project.
The next step is organizing nonprofit and business partners.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Kimball's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
