Funding will support programs

The Howland Cultural Center has received a $25,000 grant secured by state Assembly Member Jonathan Jacobson, whose district includes Beacon.

“When I can bring money to local nonprofits like this, taxpayers get the biggest bang for their buck,” Jacobson said in a statement. “There’s no bureaucracy and I know that Howland will put the money directly into its programs.”

The funding will support events in the coming year, including children’s concerts, a mural project with Joe Pimentel, theater performances and a workshop with Clearwater, said Theresa Kraft, the Howland president.
