Constitution Week

It was my
honor to proclaim September 17-23, 2010 as the 232nd anniversary

of America. This proclamation was presented to the Blue Springs

Patriotism,
education and historic preservation are objectives of the National

Blue Springs.

Minor Home
Repair Program
The Minor Home
Repair Program will begin accepting applications on November 1,
2010. The City is accepting applications until Friday, January 28,
2011.
The Minor Home
Repair Program was designed with the desire to offer a program to
assist homeowners who do not have the financial means to respond to
code violations that may exist at their single-family, residential
property.
The emphasis of
this program is on neighborhood conservation, and only minor
exterior home repairs will be eligible. The program encourages a
high level of maintenance among property owners in a neighborhood
by providing a grant to help cure the most visible home defects
which may adversely affect the value of the home as well as
surrounding properties.
