WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley announced today that the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration awarded a grant of $50,000 to Region Six Planning Commission.
Region Six Planning Commission, which includes Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek and Tama counties, will use the funds to develop and implement a comprehensive economic development strategy that brings together the public and private sectors and strengthens the regional economy.
