In Johnson County, the City of North Liberty received two grants. Nearly $950 will help strengthen the fire department’s rescue capabilities, while another $1,500 will support the city’s summer reading program. The Iowa City Community School District also received $500 for its Exploring Physics and Force Through Movement program.
In Jefferson County, Fairfield was awarded $1,000 to help purchase Streamlight Survivor X flashlights for local firefighters.
The City of Letts will use a $1,000 grant at Indian Creek Park to install rubber mulch, helping improve the park’s play area.
