THE CITY OF MARSHALLTOWN HAS RECEIVED A $135,000 FEDERAL GRANT FOR PURCHASE OF A NEW GENERATOR FOR THE VETERAN’S MEMORIAL COLISEUM.  ALTHOUGH THE HISTORIC BUILDING IS USED FOR A  VARIETY OF PURPOSES, IT IS AN EMERGENCY SHELTER WHEN NEEDED.  WHEN COMBINED WITH STATE FUNDING, THE GRANT MEANS THE CITY WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND ANY MONEY FOR THE GENERATOR.
