SCISWA Grant for Community Beautification
A $2000 grant from the South Central Iowa Solid Waste Agency has been applied to local community beautification efforts in the downtown area. The hangers around the square that were added recently to hold the flower baskets are made from 100% recycled steel, and were designed and manufactured locally by Wilcox All-Pro Tools. The special grant program through the SCISWA supported this part of the project as qualifiying under a waste management and landfill reduction campaign. Additional grant funds through Keep Iowa Beautiful will be applied towards completing this year's project, which includes an updated landscape plan around the gateway signage at each entrance to Montezuma. In the fall, a grant through Paint Iowa Beautiful will enhance the facilities of the Poweshiek County Historical Society & Museum.
