“Congratulations to each of these 22 communities on being awarded this grant funding,” said Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) Executive Director Denny Spinner. “Community Development Block Grants can have a transformational impact on a community, and I applaud all those taking advantage of this opportunity.”

Mayor Collier thanked and congratulated his administrative team for working so hard to win this generous OCRA grant! More great progress in Lawrence!
