Getting ahead of Sentinel: Kimball seeks military liaison

Kimball isn’t waiting for the Sentinel missile project to arrive before preparing for its potential impact on the community. During the Nov. 5 Kimball City Council meeting, City Administrator Annette Brower announced she is pursuing federal grant funding to establish a military liaison position Brower said she has been working with the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation to explore opportunities associated with the incoming Sentinel project. “I did send off a grant request today that I will be formalizing a grant that will be for Phase 1 of a project,” Brower said. “Phase 1 will be bringing on, basically, a military liaison.” The proposed position would focus on helping Kimball prepare for development associated with the military project. “That will be paid with federal grant funds, and this person will be solely focused on community development and what that looks like moving forward, working with the military,” Brower said. The request is still in its early stages.
