Vision Iowa grants for projects in Hubbard and Cherokee

July 14, 2010 By Matt Kelley

vision iowa logoThe Vision Iowa Board today awarded Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grants to projects in Hardin and Cherokee Counties.

Vision Iowa Board spokesperson Jessica O’Riley says a $325,000 grant will help finance a new library in downtown Hubbard. “The great story out of this one is, for a town of just under 900 people, they raised more than $800,000 in private financing,” O’Riley said. The new 7,000 square foot library carries a total price tag of just over $1.44 million.

The other CAT grant awarded today will help the Cherokee County Fair Association construct a new 4-H Expo Center. O’Riley says the 16,000 square foot facility will be used primarily as a livestock show arena. The total project cost is around $275,000. The CAT grant for Cherokee is worth $52,000.

Today’s meeting of the Vision Iowa Board took place in Fairfield.
