Last month we brought you the story of how Vision Soldotna needed online votes to make it to the next stage of the competition for $25,000 in funding for free concerts at Soldotna Creek Park. Well, it was announced Tuesday that the Levitt Foundation has awarded Soldotna one of 18 such grants which were earmarked for small- and medium-size cities to offer free public music.
Shannon Davis is the executive director of the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce and Vision Soldotna. She spoke with KDLL’s Jay Barrett.
Other communities that have received the grant include Sheboygan, Wisc.; Utica, New York; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Earlham, Iowa.
