Community Experiences Program
Initiative
Communities benefit from having an array of cultural arts and entertainment offerings within city limits allowing community members and their dollars to stay within the county. The Community Experiences Program (CXP) will provide grant dollars to qualifying projects that enhance quality of life for residents of Kosciusko County with priority given to projects that restore/inhabit unused or underutilized buildings and spaces in downtown areas. These projects will provide enhanced opportunities and a boosted sense of pride for the entire community.
Funding Purpose
