The City of Camdenton has been awarded a half-million-dollar Community Development Block Grant courtesy of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. The grant will be used to help rehabilitate Business Route 5 through Camdenton.

The grant program is a competitive grant program authorized by Congress, funded under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and designed to help small cities and towns meet a broad range of community development needs.

The City has been working with Cochran Engineers to facilitate this project and obtain this funding.
