There were many worthwhile projects to choose from this year. Winning projects demonstrated the most benefit to our community and specifically residents of Fairhaven. Funds from the town of Fairhaven were also earmarked to support events that promote tourism or attract visitors to our local businesses and were awarded accordingly.
Many of these grant-funded events will be offered for free admission or for affordable ticket prices; many offer senior discounts as well. Stay posted to our blog throughout the year for updates on when these programs will be taking place.
