March 2006 The total cost of these projects is estimated at $650,000; very ambitious for the city but also very exciting! To help with the cost, an application was submitted to the state of Iowa for a CAT grant (Community Attraction and Tourism.) All indications are that the Vision Iowa Board is viewing our application quite favorably. However, we are being asked to raise private donations as a condition for an award to be made. This is an amazing opportunity for the City of Clermont. To take hold of the future and make it happen. Wouldn’t you like to be a part of the energy that moves this project forward? If Clermont is a place that holds special memories, a special place you enjoy, a special place you would like to see revived, and energized, please help us seize this opportunity. Your donation and/or pledge of financial support will help us secure state funding and insure that this special city continues proudly into the future. Your donation can be sent to the City of Clermont, P.O. Box 6, Clermont, IA 52135. And you can specify what portion of the project you wish to support; renovation of the Opera House, enhancement of the business district with decorative sidewalks and lighting, or renovation of the River Park. The City of Clermont, today, stands at a crossroads looking at the hope and promise of a reinvigorated future. There are businesses interested in Clermont as a place of future enterprise who are waiting to see if Clermont believes in itself. Please help us, with your donation, show them and the Vision Iowa Board that we do believe in Clermont.
Sincerely, The Community Attraction and Tourism Grant Committee
