Washington, Ainsworth to receive grant money

Two Washington County communities are receiving money through the states Community Disaster Grant Program. Ainsworth is getting a little more than $2,000 to reshape a drainage ditch on north Railroad Street. The city of Washington is also receiving just over $2,000 to purchase generators and pumps. 500 counties and communities across Iowa are benefiting from this $22-million allocation. This is the final round of funding through the Rebuild Iowa Bill, which is a piece of legislation passed in response to last years flooding and tornadoes.
