City of Tracy cashes in on half-million community facilities grant to put toward necessary upgrades to recently-purchased ADO building

Business and pleasure were mixed at Monday’s Tracy City Council meeting when Tracy librarian and resident grant writer Val Quist announced that Tracy has been awarded a $500,000 Minnesota Multi-Purpose Community Facility Projects Grant.

“This is huge,” Quist said. “To see that number come through. We put that out there thinking sometimes they offer a little bit less, but we were going to shoot for the moon on this one and go for the full amount that we were allowed to ask for, and that’s what we got. Just thinking about how excited everyone would be and looking forward to sharing it with everyone … it’s just fantastic.”
