Tuesday, T-Mobile announced Chillicothe as one of its latest 25 Hometown Grant recipients. According to T-Mobile’s news release, the $50,000 grant will go toward installing a wayfinding kiosk in the heart of Historic Downtown Chillicothe to promote local businesses, community events and increase local and visitor foot traffic. The project was submitted by Downtown Chillicothe.

“I am so appreciative for T-Mobile and their incredible contribution toward our vision of a downtown that is engaging and vibrant. Their commitment to Chillicothe will help us welcome visitors from all over the world and enhance the experience of visiting not only our downtown, but a World Heritage destination community as well,” said Luke Feeney, Mayor of Chillicothe.

Through Hometown Grants, people in communities nationwide are kickstarting projects that make a real difference and help their towns thrive. Since launching its five-year commitment to small towns in April 2021, T-Mobile has awarded a whopping 250 communities across 43 states and over $11 million in funding. To date, T-Mobile has provided nearly $200,000 in grant funding in four cities across the state.

Hometown Grants isn’t the only way T-Mobile is empowering small towns. Initiatives like Project 10Million offers free internet connectivity and mobile hotspots to eligible students to help close the digital divide while T-Mobile 5G Home Internet and Business Internet gives homes and businesses across the country access to more affordable broadband.
