Fremont Recreation Center awarded $265,000 USDA facilities grant

The Fremont Recreation Department has been awarded a $265,000 Department of Agriculture grant to be used for improvements to the city recreation center.

“Glad to help return $265,000 in taxpayer dollars to the people of Fremont and Sandusky County through this United States Department of Agriculture Communities Facilitates Award,” said Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo. “The nearly 16,000 Northwest Ohioans who use the Fremont Community Recreation Center will see improved accessibility, and upgrades to the track, ice and weightlifting facilities. It’s great to see real federal investments in creating livable communities across our region."
