Atticaâs main stretch has seen the recent decoration of fall banners and winter snowflakes. This project kicked off with a grant from Tipmont REMCâs Operation Round Up and saw completion thanks to the Attica Community Foundation.
Operation Round Up is a fund supported by the generosity of Tipmont REMC members. Participating members volunteer to have their monthly electric bill ârounded upâ to the next dollar. The extra money collected funds grants to local non-profit organizations through the Operation Round Up Trust.
Since the programâs inception in 1999, Operation Round Up has awarded over $940,000 in grants to local organizations. Attica Main Street was grateful to receive a generous donation of these funds to be put towards the start of their goal to obtain banners and other decorations for the light poles through town, and are excited to have such a permanent display of their commitment to community.
