Governor Laura Kelly
(MSC News)--Governor Laura Kelly has announced the awarding of $90,000 in grants to 14 rural communities to create new murals and public art projects that will beautify community gathering spaces and serve as new tourist attractions.
The funding, announced Tuesday, is through the Office of Rural Prosperity’s Rural Mural and Public Art grant program.
Locally, Jackson County and the Jackson Country Tourism Council was awarded $8,400 and Seneca Downtown Impact, Inc. was awarded $750.
Each of the projects requires a 1:1 match from the community. Seventy-five percent of the grant funding will be gifted up front as several of the city projects plan to start in the next two weeks.
