Growth Conference points way to funding possibilities

Local officials learn ways to capitalize on funding opportunities

The seventh annual Grundy County Growth Conference held by the Community Foundation of Grundy County took a closer look at funding opportunities for municipalities this year.

The theme for the event Friday was "Funding for Local Units of Government" and had four presentations. About 50 participants came to the conference, said Julie Buck, executive director of the Community Foundation.

"Even as a rookie citizen sitting here, I know we have a gas tax, Hotel Motel tax ... but are there some other creative things we can do to increase revenue?" asked Buck.
