Cornelius Today is reporting that the Cornelius Town Board has approved a one-time rental assistance program with Commissioner Dave Gilroy casting the only vote in opposition. The cost to the town will be $50,000, utilizing money from the general fund. Deputy Town Manager Wayne Herron said the Cornelius Community Development Corp. will administer the one-time senior rental assistance program. It will be limited to seniors living in the Town of Cornelius, and the maximum allowance will be half of any proposed rent increase, up to $200/month per rental unit, he explained. Herron said the program will run through June 2024.
