INDIANAPOLIS - The Office of Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced eight Indiana communities will receive nearly $1 million in Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Grants and Planning Grants through the Community Development Block Grant program.

Locally, the Town of Versailles received a comprehensive Planning Grant of $50,000.
