“These incredible projects spark innovation, ingenuity and hard

towns,” said Jon Freier, Executive Vice President of Consumer Group
at T-Mobile. “From beautifying historic Main Streets to building
all-new retail spaces, pop-ups and parks … this is part of our
commitment to rural America, and we can’t wait to see all these
creative plans come to life.”
T-Mobile partnered with Main Street America and Smart Growth
America, two consulting partners with a combined experience of more
than 60 years working to help build stronger, more prosperous small
towns and rural communities. Together, they determined the grant
recipients based on detail and fullness of the submission,
community impact, viability of the project among other factors. And
this group is just the first — recipients are selected and awarded
on a quarterly basis, so towns with populations less than 50,000
are eligible and encouraged to apply.
“We’re thrilled to work with T-Mobile and Smart Growth America
to support these inspiring projects in rural communities across the
country,” said Main Street America’s President and CEO Patrice
Frey. “These grant recipients demonstrate the creativity and
passion for place we’ve seen in Main Street communities for
decades, and we're excited to see their projects take shape.”
"SGA is committed to the resilience of America's small towns,
having worked in scores of towns and cities in rural places over
the past 12 years,” said Smart Growth America’s President and CEO
Calvin Gladney. “Each of the 25 towns selected to receive a
T-Mobile grant demonstrated their imagination and commitment to a
project that will enliven a sense of place and lift the lives of
their citizens."
