Other grants will go to three recipients in Taney County. The Leonard Stevens Community Center at Rockaway Beach will have its bathrooms renovated. The Bradleyville Booster Club will get a new multi-purpose building for outdoor instruction, sports concessions and outdoor bathrooms. New light poles will be purchased and installed for Taneyville R-II School District’s multi-purpose field.
