For the third consecutive year, Kubota Tractor Corporation has named five winners in its annual Kubota Hometown Proud™ Grant Program. This year, the company is especially proud to announce that Lucasville Community Park, submitted by local Growing Lucasville Opportunities (GLO) and supported by local Kubota dealer Ricer Equipment, is one of those winners!
Lucasville is a two-stop-light community located in the great state of Ohio; a small town with a big heart and community spirit that shines. Every hometown needs a community gathering space, and that is what this project is all about: building a community park for the residents to gather, socialize and celebrate. A newly formed non-profit, Growing Lucasville Opportunities (GLO) applied for a 2023 Kubota Hometown Proud grant and, together with their local Kubota dealer Ricer Equipment, we are proud to announce them as a 2023 recipient. This $100,000 grant will allow them to build an amphitheater in the new park for local groups to gather and perform. If awarded the 2023 Community Choice grant, the organization will also be able to construct the next phase of the park project, which consists of building a ¼ mile paved walking path that will go above the amphitheater and through the woods, making the space accessible to all.
Continuing its vow to invest in local U.S. communities, Kubota is awarding each regional winner $100,000 to help revitalize a community project. And the giving keeps going.
Now, each of the five regional winners are put to a national public vote to determine which will be the recipient of an additional $100,000 grant as the Community Choice Winner, doubling their grant dollars. In addition, every voter who participates is entered into a separate sweepstakes* for a chance to win a Kubota BX Series sub-compact tractor or Z200 Series zero-turn mower.
Voting is open from 12:01 AM August 1, 2023 through August 14, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. CT. You are allowed one vote per e-mail each day. You can access the voting by visiting www.KubotaHometownProud.com.
The community project with the most votes will be announced as the Kubota Community Choice Award winner in September 2023.
