Community merits a High Five
October 20, 2016
While the final results have not been posted online nor an official public announcement made by the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation as yet, the Rexburg Standard Journal last evening reported that Rexburg, one of five Idaho cities named as finalists, was awarded a $250,000 High Five Grant, and that the other two Idaho Five Grant awards this year have gone to Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry.

In the article by reporter Lisa Dayley Smith, Rexburg officials had been notified of the award earlier in the month, but were sworn to secrecy until their city council meeting Wednesday evening.

The Bonners Ferry City Council met Tuesday, and discussion of the grant was included on the agenda.
