The Martin County Alliance for Economic Growth has received a $10,000 grant from the Martin County Community Foundation’s second-quarter grant cycle for 2025, which awarded a total of $86,100.

The funding will support the Alliance’s “Community Roots” project to renovate the Senior Citizens Center in the Loogootee City Annex. Planned improvements include installing a new door, windows, signage, and an HVAC enclosure.

The project is a collaborative effort between the Martin County Alliance, the City of Loogootee, and the Martin County Council on Aging.
