ARLEE — The Arlee Community Development Corporation has received a $18,369 2023 Community Challenge Grant from AARP Livable Communities and AARP Montana. This grant program is part of the nationwide AARP Livable Communities initiative, which helps cities, towns, and rural areas become great places to live for residents of all ages. Now in its seventh year, the Community Challenge grant is investing more than $3.6 million in communities all across the country.
“We’re so excited to be awarded this grant that enables us to make our public spaces more livable,” said Marie Hirsch, Executive Director of the Arlee CDC. “The funds will be used to provide park benches and picnic tables at our community garden, making this beautiful outdoor space more accessible and comfortable for everyone to enjoy.”
The Arlee CDC was one of 310 communities nationwide to receive a 2023 Community Challenge Grant. The goals of the program include creating vibrant public spaces, improving walkability, improving community health, and providing a wider range of transportation and mobility options.
