	The following is a list of grants the Development District has worked on in the past. Quite often new grant information will go directly to the communities without our acknowledgment. If you are aware of a grant that is not listed and would like our help, please give us a call. We ask that you help us to help you and your fellow cities and counties by letting us know of grants that may not be listed. The development district is also prepared to assist with any school system applications. You may contact Mitch Loomis at mloomis@etdd.org or Gail Byrd at gbyrd@etdd.org. We will send out grant information when it becomes available.
