Downtown Revitalization Project
The project consists of improving deteriorating
infrastructure in downtown Nashville along Jefferson

Finding of No Signifi cant Impact: It has been

are as follows: All preliminary environmental
reviews by state and county agencies indicated
that the proposed project would not endanger the
environment under any capacity. An Environmental
Review Record respecting the proposed
project has been made by the above named Town
of Nashville which documents the environmental
review of the project and more fully sets forth
the reasons why such statement is not required.
This Environmental Review Record is on fi le at
the above address and is available for public examination
and copying upon request at the Town
of Nashville, Clerk Treasurer’s Offi ce, 200 Commercial
Drive, Nashville, IN 47448. No further
environmental review of such project is proposed

Release of Funds: The Town of Nashville will

Town of Nashville, consents to accept the jurisdiction
of the federal courts if an action is brought
to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental
reviews, decision making, and action; and
that these responsibilities have been satisfi ed.

its approval, the Town of Nashville may use the
Block Grant funds and the State will have satisfi
ed its responsibilities under the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969.
Objections to State Release of Funds: The State
will accept an objection to its approval only if it
is on one of the following basis: (a) that the certifi
cation was not in fact executed by the certifying
offi cer or other offi cer of applicant approved by
the State; or (b) that the applicant's environmental
review record for the project indicated omission
of a required review process. Objections must
be prepared and submitted in accordance with the
required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may be
