Midland Power Cooperative, along with CoBank and Basin Electric recently donated $15,000 to the Greene County Early Learning Center for classroom improvements.
Early Learning Center executive director Cherie Cerveny said the donation will be used to improve security at the center. Keypad locks will be installed on all classroom doors and the computer system will be updated to work with the security system. “This is a preventive measure, not because something has happened,” Cerveny said.
Any remaining funds will be used to replace outdated furniture.
The Early Learning Center has had a successful year obtaining grant funds, having received more than $39,000. The board of the non-profit childcare center seeks to keep rates for families using the center as affordable as possible by actively seeking outside funding.
Midland Power Cooperative provides electricity in rural areas in Greene, Boone, Story and other surrounding counties.
