The Vision Iowa Board awarded an $88,000 grant to the historic-renovation project of the Historic Osceola Depot and Visitors Center.

The restoration project includes renovations to the interior of the historic depot with upgrades to utilities and mechanical systems, interior renovations to the welcome and waiting areas, offices and restrooms, paving the parking lot and improving the lighting, landscaping and sidewalks around the building.

Ann Diehl, commission chairperson of Osceola Historic Preservation Commission, said getting the grant took a lot of work.
