greenfieldA health-related program in Greenfield has been awarded $10,000 to promote more physical activity and nutrition studies in the community.

 

The Southern Iowa Council of Governments was recently selected by the Iowa Department of Public Health to facilitate the improvements through the Healthy Iowans Program for Greenfield.

 

Greenfield residents will be able to collaborate and form a committee to decide how the funds are spent, but similar program funds in other communities have gone towards purchasing playground equipment, development of a safe routes to school plan, repair of recreation trails, farmer’s market advertising and other health-related initiatives.
