No answers for grant funds
In a recent Daily Press story (“Council approves grant requests,” Daily Press, page B1, May 2), it was stated that eight nonprofit groups will take a portion of the $86,250 that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant designated for public service projects in Apple Valley.
I was at that meeting and heard several speakers asking for a portion of the money available. I did hear Margaret Diaz ask the Apple Valley Town Council, why the Victor Valley Domestic Violence group was not receiving any funds?

For a few hours on Thursday, Granite Hills transformed from a high school into a concert venue.
