Funding for art projects and events for LGBTQ+ communities, a new mower for a bowling green and a security system to protect local historical items are among the 10 projects to receive grants under Round 1 of the City of Marion’s 2022-23 Community Grants Program.

The successful recipients were endorsed at the Council’s August 23 General Meeting with their projects totalling $48,991.
