Bowman County Community Challenge Opens for 2023

02 Dec Bowman County Community Challenge Opens for 2023

The Bowman County Community Challenge is back with up to $10,000 for the top project or event anywhere in Bowman County. Fill out an application today to make your dream a reality and your community a better place to live. The application deadline is March 7, 2023. Visit createbowmancounty.com for more details.

Since the start of the Community Challenge, three projects have been funded. These include 2020 winner Brosz Engineering, 2021 winner Southwest Shooting Club, and 2022 winner Crossroads Custom Designs.

Crossroads Custom Designs took home the prize in 2022 for a Welcome to Bowman are installation at the north end of Bowman’s Main Street. Plans are still in the works to have the project completed within the one-year window.

Southwest Shooting Club maximized their Community Challenge winning with several grants and private funding to create Southwest Shooting Complex just southwest of Bowman. They have hosted several events and private shooting since 2021.

Brosz Engineering with their splash pad at Rotary Park hit some delays with pricing, inventory due to COVID, and partnering with the other project happening at Rotary Park. All items for the splash pad are in and will be installed in 2023.

The Community Challenge serves as a platform to empower Bowman County to bring their dreams to reality. By enabling fellow community members to create an event or project to better Bowman County we are able to enhance our quality of life and give our residents a way to bring to life what they want in their community.

The program is centered around one key element: providing funding to make fun, unique projects or events possible in Bowman County. Applicants have creative control and carry out the project or event to completion. The best part is you, the community, votes on which project you want to see created. Plus, the preliminary judging panel is composed of locals from around the county of all ages.

Whether large or small, we want to see your project come to life! Submit your application today!

The Bowman County Community Challenge is facilitated by Bowman County Development Corporation and funded by Bowman Tax and Tourism. For more information visit createbowmancounty.com, call Brooklyn at 701.523.5880, or email brooklyn@bowmannd.com.
