The Okaw Valley Regional Development Association is a not-for-profit organization working to bring community improvements to the communities of Bethany, Dalton City, and Findlay.
In each community a mini-grant will be awarded to one or more applicants of a total not to exceed $300. The grant monies have been made available as a result of the Touchstone Energy Hydrofest NBRA Boat Races, which is organized by the OVRDA.
Grant applications are available for pick up at all three village halls and must be completed and turned in by September 1, 2009.
If you belong to a local organization and are working on a project that will enhance your community, the OVRDA would like to encourage you to apply for this grant.
