Twenty-five projects were recently awarded a total of $504,000 in Culture & Tourism grants by Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation (IRRR). The agency invests approximately $600,000 annually into the grant program. The grants assist projects that support arts, culture, history, tourism and recreational activities, enhance the quality of life in the region and attract visitors.
“These projects represent continuous improvements being made to the communities and amenities throughout the Taconite Assistance Area,” said IRRR Commissioner Ida Rukavina. “Culture & Tourism grants, like all of our agency’s grants, are funded from Taconite Production Tax generated by the local mining industry. The investments made from that tax enrich the economy and quality of life for all of us who live and work here.”
