Shelbyville parks department receives MIBOR grant

The Shelbyville Parks and Recreation Department has been awarded a grant through the MIBOR Community Impact Initiative.

The investment will support the “Music in the Park 2025” project, aimed at enhancing cultural and recreational activities in the community.

Each year, MIBOR’s Economic and Community Development Council (ECDC) reviews and approves numerous grants for local projects across Central Indiana. The MIBOR Community Impact Initiative focuses on job attraction, workforce development, placemaking, quality of life, affordable housing, tourism, and regional collaboration.

Earlier this month, MIBOR’s ECDC completed round two of the grant program, investing $76,734 into 19 projects, including Shelbyville Parks and Recreation. Combined with round one, the council has allocated a total of $116,734 into 35 projects throughout Central Indiana this year.
