Several Area Communities, Including Spencer, Awarded Grant Funding Through Iowa Department Of Public Health

July 22, 2020

(Des Moines)– The Iowa Department of Public Health has announced continued funding of grants to two northwest Iowa cities through a program it began in 2017, with new funding through the same program to one area community.

Communities in our area receiving a second year of funding at $10,000 include Cherokee and Storm Lake.

The city of Spencer will be receiving funding for the first time in the program. It will be getting $30,000.

The funding is through the Iowa Department of Public Health’s 5-2-1-0 Health Choices Count! Program. The money will assist those communities in creating environments that support healthy choices.
