Battle Creek receives $586,000 in grants to support Community Pride Care Center

BATTLE CREEK, Neb. - The City of Battle Creek is receiving a major funding boost for an infrastructure project.

City leaders announced Monday that the community has been awarded a $586,000 grant from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. The money will go toward upgrades at the Battle Creek Community Pride Care Center.

“This investment strengthens our community’s ability to provide essential care and support for our residents,” said Mayor Heath Mettler. “As Battle Creek’s largest employer, the CPCC is an anchor community partner and these improvements will ensure they can continue serving our citizens with excellence.”

Officials at the assisted living facility say the grant will help fund a new sidewalk, garage, and windows. The center also plans to improve residents’ quality of life with a new whirlpool tub and a commercial-grade stove.

“All of us at the CPCC are appreciative of this support,” said Allan Murphy, Chairman of the CPCC Board of Directors. “Thank you to the City of Battle Creek for your continued collaboration and support.”

The care center, located on Battle Creek’s south side, first opened in 1989.
