Grassley Announces Grant to Cresco


Senator Chuck Grassley announced today that the Hawkeye Tri-County Electric Cooperative in Cresco has been given a $4,245,000 loan from the USDA's Rural Development program.

"This is another great example of federal dollars being put to good use in rural America," Grassley said. "By making low-interest loans available to complete these important community projects, we are investing in the quality of life for northeast Iowans."

The money will be used to construct 23 miles of distribution line and make other system improvements. It will serve 130 new customers.
