Downtown Network Announces Grant to be Awarded

Warren Forward Downtown Network met January 6 at noon.

They announced that they are offering $1000 in grant money for signage.  The money can be used for one sign or may be broken up to be given to multiple applicants.  The deadline for the grant applications will be announced at the Bradley County Chamber of Commerce Gala March 3.
