Elevate Lebanon Awarded Grant

Elevate Lebanon has been awarded a grant from the Missouri Housing Trust fund. The Laclede County Commission received a letter from Elevate Lebanon thanking the commission for their letter of support which could have been a deciding factor in receiving that grant. Elevate Lebanon is a program with services that reach out to Lebanon working for poor families on the brink of poverty, and individuals who lost their way in life. The total grant awarded was $77- thousand dollars which was 30 percent of what Elevate Lebanon requested. Presiding County Commissioner Randy Angst read that letter at the meeting.
