On Thursday, T-Mobile Corporation announced Marshalltown as being one of 25 small towns winning Hometown Grants to jumpstart vital community development projects.

A $25,000 grant was awarded to the community of Marshalltown which will go towards reconstructing downtown State Street, including enhancements to landscaping and safety and accessibility infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, after the 2018 E-3 tornado disaster.

Launched in April 2021, T-Mobile Hometown Grants is a $25 million, five-year initiative to support the people and organizations who help small towns across America thrive and grow by providing funding to kickstart important new community development projects.

Since the program’s start, T-Mobile has given more than $4.4 million dollars to kickstart 100 community development projects across 36 states, including Marshalltown.

Hometown Grants are provided every quarter to up to 25 towns.  Every small town with a population of less than 50,000 people with a vision fo how to make their community even stronger than it is today are eligible and encouraged to apply.
