Clinton County
Development Association
2008 was an exciting year!
2008 was an exciting year for both the
Wild Rose Casino and the Clinton County
Development Association (CCCDA). The new
Wild Rose facility opened in late June and with
that came increased funds for the CCDA to
distribute to deserving non-profit organizations
throughout Clinton County. The CCDA is
extremely proud of the role it has played in
bringing this new attraction to the county.
As the non-profit license holder for the Wild
Rose Casino, the CCDA distributed more than
$1 million during 2008 through the Fund A and
B grants and special funding requests.
The Wild Rose Casino is a tremendous
contributor to Clinton County, it's communities
and the State of Iowa. The $1 million that
the
CCDA distributed in 2008 is in addition to the
nearly $7 million in taxes and fees paid by the
casino each year.
The CCDA awards grants from two funds;
Fund A is for larger projects and Fund B is for
smaller projects. The list of recipients for
2008
We encourage you to take moment to look at
the list; we are sure that you'll find at least
one
receiving organization that is connected to you.
Since the voters of Clinton County approved casino
gambling in 1992, and reaffirmed that vote ten
years later,
nearly $16 million has been awarded by the CCDA.
We thank you for your support over the years and
look
forward to continuing to serve you.
