PROPOSED CRA SUBDIVISION — A preliminary plat shows a proposed 23-lot residential subdivision on approximately 15.98 acres east of Perkins County Grade School and north of East Fourth Street in Grant. The Grant Planning Commission and City Council will hold separate public hearings Sept. 9 on a redevelopment plan for the property. The council will also consider rezoning the site from agricultural to residential. City officials emphasized that the map is preliminary and that a final plat has not been completed or approved.

Parents pick up their children at Trinity Lutheran Church north of Grant. The church has served as one of Perkins County Schools’ rural transportation hubs since the district replaced door-to-door busing with centralized stops in 2020. For the 2026-27 school year, the district expanded from four to six stops by adding locations near Brandon and at Kenton Heights, while continuing service at Trinity Lutheran and in Venango, Madrid and Elsie.
