Among the organizations that will receive grant funding include the Central City Growth Organization for phase two of their Historic Markers Project, the Coggon Community Historical Society for storm windows for a historic hall, the Troy Mills Historical Society for exterior repair and paint for IOOF Lodge and the Walker Historical Society for their Depot and School House painting project.
