The Hoover Presidential Foundation was awarded $400,000 to redesign the 60-year-old Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum and expand it to allow for new exhibitions that emphasize the Hoovers’ contributions. With Iowa being one of only ten states to host a presidential library and museum and one of two located within a national park, the modernized museum will have a national impact. The total project cost is nearly $13.7 million.
The CAT program provides financial assistance to communities for the construction of recreational, cultural, educational or entertainment facilities that enhance the quality of life in Iowa. Award recommendations for these funds are made by the CAT Review Committee to the IEDA Board for approval.
