Elizabethtown, North Carolina is one of the latest 25 Hometown Grant recipients announced by T-Mobile. The aim of this $25 million initiative that launched in April 2021 is to support small towns across America through funding community projects such as the revitalization of parks, small business incubators, sustainability programs, building renovations, community art efforts and ADA play structures.
The grant awarded to Elizabethtown will be used to transform the Cape Fear Farmers Market space, including a covered stage for events, information center and local murals to support small businesses and promote family gathering.
“The Town of Elizabethtown is excited to be a winner of a Hometown Grant Award through T-Mobile” remarked Terri Dennison, Elizabethtown’s director of communications and marketing.
A presentation will be held at 3 pm on Friday, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m. at the Cape Fear Farmers Market providing more information on the Hometown Grant. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.
“Hometown Grants are truly making a difference in small towns,” said President of T-Mobile’s U.S. Consumer Group Jon Freier in a press release. “Beyond the $6.8 million we’ve provided in funding to our 150 grant recipients so far, we’ve also seen $2 million in matching funds from other local resources, which is huge. It’s been humbling to see T-Mobile creating a positive lasting impact in communities both through our grant funding and giving back to small businesses all over the country.”
T-Mobile distributes Hometown Grants each quarter for up to 25 towns with a population of less than 50,000 people. Visit https://www.t-mobile.com/brand/hometown-grants for more details about the grants and submitting a proposal.
