Sponsor Our ArticlesGreenwood County is buzzing with positive developments as the Greenwood County Community Foundation launches its Youth & Education Grant Cycle for 2025, allowing residents to submit grant proposals. Additionally, Real Kansas Meats LLC will receive $6.9 million in federal funding to create nearly 120 jobs with the construction of a new facility in Fall River. The local council is engaged in various community improvement projects, including a significant infusion of capital into essential infrastructure and environmental initiatives.
Ah, Greenwood County, where the sun shines bright and opportunities are on the rise! With perfect weather on the horizon—abundant sunshine, a high near 65°F, and gentle NNW winds—there’s no better time to talk about some exciting local developments that could shape the future of our community. So grab a cup of coffee, and let’s dive right in!
First up, we have some incredible news from the Greenwood County Community Foundation (GCCF) as they’re launching their 2025 Youth & Education Grant Cycle. This is not just any grant cycle; it marks the beginning of GCCF’s annual Community Impact grants. If you’re a resident looking to make a difference in education and youth services, you’ll want to pay attention!
From February 1 to 28, 2025, you can submit your grant applications online. Proposals seeking up to $5,000 are welcome, but remember—they must serve the bright-eyed residents of Greenwood County. A dedicated Grants Review Committee, made up of community members, will be on the lookout for the best ideas. They will review, evaluate, and make funding recommendations to the GCCF Board of Directors. Decisions will be made by late April 2025, so get your proposals ready!
For more details, including application guidelines, make sure to visit the GCCF website at greenwoodcf.org/grants.
Speaking of making a difference, let’s shift gears and talk about Real Kansas Meats LLC. They’re in the spotlight as they set to receive nearly $6.9 million in federal funding from the USDA’s Rural Development Division. What’s this funding for, you ask? It’s going to help build and equip a state-of-the-art slaughter and fabrication facility in Fall River.
But wait, there’s more! This project isn’t just about meat; it’s expected to create nearly 120 jobs for the local community. Kansas Rural Development Director has pointed out that this investment aims to reduce food costs while enhancing the food supply chain. Now that’s a win-win!
On a brighter note, community service is also shining through. Council member Cathy Miller has been recognized by Keep Greenwood Beautiful for her hard work in litter collection and community outreach. In just the past week, over 100 bags of trash have been collected as part of local clean-up efforts. It’s people like her who help keep our community spruced up!
And let’s not forget the City vs. County Food Drive, which is getting underway. This initiative involves police and fire departments, plus school resource officers across the districts. What a fantastic way to foster community spirit!
Mark your calendars—the next Greenwood County Council meeting will be held on February 4, 2025, at 5:30 PM at the Greenwood County Library. It’s a great opportunity to get involved and stay informed about what’s happening in our community!
So, there you have it! From grant opportunities to job creation, and community clean-ups to exciting meetings, Greenwood County is buzzing with activity. Stay tuned, and let’s continue to support each other and our lovely community!
