Some of that funding could go to the median to be redone. If Metro Church and the Bank got together and said `We want to sponsor this to improve'; we want to sponsor meaning that we want to be the ones who apply for the Grant and a guarantee to be involved with it for a year and then maybe we could use that funding to improve it."
