During a recent meeting with the Board of Commissioners, Ethridge City Manager Nathan Keeton shared exciting news about a potential grant application. Keeton revealed that he had submitted a proposal to the Lowe’s Foundation for funding to enhance the city’s playground facilities. If successful, Ethridge could secure a grant ranging from $75,000 to $100,000 specifically designated for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at the local park.
The grant, if awarded, would be a significant boost for the community as it comes with the unique advantage of being a 100% grant. This means that Ethridge would not be required to provide any matching funds, making it a particularly valuable opportunity for the city to improve its recreational offerings without straining its budget. Keeton’s proactive approach in seeking out external funding sources demonstrates a commitment to enhancing public spaces and promoting a healthy lifestyle for residents of Ethridge.
