Area towns move ahead in program

FORESTBURG — Residents of three Sanborn County towns are one step closer to obtaining a $10,000 grant through a unique program that’s designed to improve their collective communities. Residents of Forestburg, Artesian and Letcher gathered Wednesday at the 4-H building in Forestburg to celebrate the completion of the third segment of the Horizons program, a philanthropic endeavor designed to reduce poverty in rural and reservation communities with a population of fewer than 5,000 and a poverty level of at least 10 percent.
