By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorFor the second year in a row, grant funds are being sought to help fund improvements at TEMCO, Inc., a sheltered workshop for individuals with disabilities.The workshop is seeking a community development block grant (CDBG) to help finance a project to remodel existing restrooms and making them ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. The grant also would be used to renovate an existing work area and construct a 1,900-square-foot addition to the current facility.“We’re running out of space,” said Bob Engemann, TEMCO executive director.The Warren County Commission has agreed to sponsor the application. The deadline to apply is June 1.A public hearing on the grant application was held Monday.The project is estimated to cost $273,310, of which $208,310 is being sought through the CDBG program. TEMCO has committed $62,500 toward the project, with $2,500 funded by in-kind services.The grant, if approved, would include approximately $18,000 to cover administration services provided by Boonslick Regional Planning Commission. Earlier this month, the agency was awarded the contract by commissioners to provide oversight of the grant process. It was the only bid submitted for the work.The county also sponsored the grant application last year. However, the proposed project did not rank high enough and the request was not approved. Engemann hopes this year’s response is more favorable.“We’re excited about the project,” he said.TEMCO, a nonprofit established in 1971, is located east of Marthasville on Highway D near the Emmaus Homes campus. The company employs 64 workers, most of whom reside in Warren County. Engemann noted that 19 employees reside on the Emmaus Homes’ Marthasville campus.TEMCO’s primary source of funding is from its subcontracting work, mostly from packaging and light assembly. The rest of its funding comes from the United Way, the Warren County Developmental Disabilities Board, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and donations.TEMCO
