Stan Schneck, Pandora village administrator, updated Pandora's council on possible stimulus funds for a possible new water tower in the village industrial park.

The announcement took place during the Feb. 22 council meeting. Schneck said that he was contacted by Ken Maag of Poggemeyer Design Group regarding stimulus funds.

If the application for such project would be granted, it would pay 50 percent of the total project. The engineering for the water tower has been completed.

The estimated cost of the project is $600,000. Stimulus funds would pay up to $300,000. Schneck told council that he is waiting final word from Poggemeyer Design Group as to whether the village would qualify to apply for these funds.

It was the consensus of the Pandora council if the village would qualify for these funds Schneck should proceed with the application.
