Columbia lands $50K T-Mobile Hometown Grant for Fair arena

From Lyssa Hansen

Today, T-Mobile has announced Columbia as one of the 25 small towns winning Hometown Grants to jumpstart vital community development projects. The $50,000 grant will go towards building a multi-use arena on the Adair County Fairgrounds to host community and student 4H agricultural education events.

"We are extremely excited for the prospect of development that this grant from T-Mobile brings to the local Adair County Fair Association," said Mayor Pam Hoots.


Launched in April 2021, T-Mobile Hometown Grants is a $25 million, five-year initiative to support the people and organizations who help small towns across America thrive and grow by providing funding to kickstart important new community development projects. Since the program's start, T-Mobile has given more than $4.4 million dollars to kickstart 100 community development projects across 36 states, including Adair County. Hometown Grants are provided every quarter to up to 25 towns. Every small town with a population of less than 50,000 people with a vision for how to make their community even stronger than it is today are eligible and encouraged to apply.

Hometown Grants are part of the Un-Carrier's massive 5-year commitment announced in April 2021 to bring 5G to rural America, open hundreds of new stores and support economic development in small towns by providing $25 million in funding. In addition, the Un-Carrier unleashed T-Mobile Home Internet, a new broadband service available to more than 13 million rural households across the country.
