Rutland Housing authority may get grant money

Forest Park, the largest public housing complex in Rutland, is the target for a $20 million revitalization project the Rutland Housing Authority hopes to fund through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant program. The program has so far invested $6 billion in replacing the worst public housing developments with mixed-income communities. The housing authority's Kevin Loso said the grants are highly sought and tough to get, but says the fact that Rutland will receive a $2.4 million grant from the federal stimulus program is a positive sign for his 8 to 9 million dollar grant application.
