As in most sweepstakes, there were far more playto ers than winners. It was about a four and one margin putting in requests, at $1.3 million, over the tviilible not HERES HOW the unofficial tally went, listing the winners, or those ranked by the mayors and county commissioners or their representatives as getting a chance at some of the money, assuming no snags at the regional or state level. ' Davis County Housing Authority came out on top of the priority list and will receive $85,000 for rehabi-litatio- n of rental and owner housing. Layton will ; i receive the largest amount, $233,280, for downtown. historical and transportation renovation; while Bountiful ranked third and will get $ 100,000 for commercial revitalization of the downtown area. THAT LEAVES $87,190 remaining and two communities tied for fourth place. Who will receive this money will be determined by a flip of the coin between Kaysville (mayor) and South Davis Fire District (Commissioner Harry Gerlach) at the next regular meeting of the Davis County Council of Governments (COG). Projects ranged from downtown improvements in Bountiful and Layton to low income housing by' Kaysville and the Housing Authority, while the county fire district wanted help in fireproofing their central facility.
